4.2 - What are the major tournaments? (Pinball Tournament Play)
There are 2 very major tournaments during the course of the year. The first
one is the PAPA tournament, held in New York City early to mid February
(there hasn't been one in 1996, due in part to the slimy company Amtex -- see
question 8.4). The next one is the Wild West Pinball Fest, held in Arizona
around late May. Another annual tournament is at Pinball Expo (held in
Chicago in early September). The PAPA tournament usually has 6 divisions:
Open A, B, & C, doubles, womens, and juniors (under 16). They pay out the
top 9 in each division (whoever made the semis). The WWPF has a couple of
divisions and lots of other different events, such as head-to-head play on
Joust machines. Many people have regarded this tournament to be the most
"fun", and PAPA as the most "serious".
