WEEKLY RATES
Take advantage of the Super Value!
- Pay for all 8 weeks of league upon registration and it's just $5 per week to play your league games! Payment of $40 is due upon your registration for 8 weeks of regulation league play. Includes all age groups. (For anyone who doesn't wish to take advantage of the value, you can still choose to pay the normal daily rate each time you come to play your league games).
Regardless of which option you choose, you're welcome to play unlimited pinball before and after you're done with your league games! League games may be played anytime that the arcade is open.
IFPA points!
During Winter League, Week 8 will be a special IFPA-sanctioned qualifying week where the top players from that week will be invited to play in a special IFPA-sanctioned Strikes-tournament on Saturday, March 14th. In week 8 there will be no extra balls or mulligans. The number of players competing on that Saturday will be dependent upon the total number of players competing that week. That tournament will be worth a boatload of IFPA points! The six games in week 8 will count as normal towards your Kidforce league standings to determine where you shake out for Winter League playoffs. Non-league members are welcome to play the six games in week 8 and potentially qualify for the IFPA Tournament. Their scores will not affect league standings. All scores in week 8 will be verified, recorded, and entered by a Tournament Official. Non-league members will pay a $1 IFPA fee plus normal daily rates to play both their week 8 games as well as to enter Saturday's IFPA tournament. League Members will pay a reduced daily rate of $7 to compete in Saturday's IFPA Tournament, if qualified.
