An IFPA-sanctioned Pin-Golf tournament is scheduled for March 15th, 2026, at the Flipper Room in Concord, CA. The qualifying round will be open from 10 AM-1 PM and consist of 9 holes. Players will be grouped in teams of 3-4.Players will complete 9 holes for qualifying. Each game, or “hole,” will have either a target score or an objective. Players must try to reach that objective in as few balls as possible. Games will be set to 3 balls. If players do not reach the score/objective in 3 balls, penalty strokes will be applied based on progress towards the goal, with a maximum of 6 strokes per game.
The Cut-off time to begin is 1:00 PM. At 2:30, or whenever the last group finishes, the top players will advance. There is no pre-registration date, and the tournament is capped at 64 players. Depending on attendance, up to 16 players may qualify for the finals, and the number of qualifiers may not exceed 50% of the total players.
The finals will feature more pin golf, with each round consisting of 3 holes of increasing difficulty. During the playoffs, there will be four player groups. We will continue to use Pin-Golf scoring in matchplay format. The top 2 players from each 4-player group will advance to the next round, with the remaining 2 players eliminated. The final 4 players will play another round of 3 games to determine each player's final ranking.
In the event of a tie that affects whether a player can advance to the next round, or a tie that affects the top 4 finishers in the finals, the tournament director will select a game to serve as the tiebreaker. The players will play a normal multiplayer game where the player with the highest score after 3 balls (for a modern game) or 5 balls (for an EM) will win the tie breaker. Game selection will be a combination of games from all eras including electromechanical, solid state, and modern games.
