SUMMARY:NPC at TLP: Northeast Pinball Challenge League
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Registration Link: https://forms.gle/W6nm91Uc6uRCvZKK9\nTournament Details\n\nTuesday Nights starting July 15th! Doors at 6\, League Promptly at 7:30\nThis league will be IFPA sanctioned at 200% TGP.\nThis league is part of the Northeast Pinball Challenge. Read all about it at NPCPinball.org\nThis league is limited to 32 total players.\n$30 per player is the league fee for the 7 weeks of league. Each night will have a $10 door fee to help cover snacks and all games being on free play.\n\nSummer is here\, and with no leagues out there\, NPC is here to keep the ball rolling. Each league night will start with doors open at 6\, and play beginning at 7:30. Players will be matched in groups of 3 or 4 and play 4 games of pinball each night. Each player will choose a game at the start of the night. In 3 player groups\, the 4th game will be randomly assigned. Player order will rotate each game. Games will be tracked in Match Play. Games will be scored 7-5-3-1 (or 7-4-1). Games will be on after league until about 10 PM\, when we kick y’all out 🙂 \nPlay will continue for 7 weeks\, but your best 5 weeks will count for standings\, meaning you can skip 2 weeks and not be disadvantaged. You must be in the top 50% of players to make A finals and play a minimum of 4 weeks. We will hold both A finals for the top qualified folks AND B finals on Tuesday\, September 9th. The four highest players who can attend Grand Finals on September 13th will advance to Grand Finals to play for individual glory and Team TLP in the Team Finals! Details are all on NPCPinball.org \nUnique (I think?) to us: If you make it to Grand Finals and attend\, I will buy you a TLP t-shirt. It probably won’t be here in time\, but I mean\, it’s a nice gesture. \nLeague Nights:\n\nTuesday\, July 15th\nTuesday\, July 22nd\nTuesday\, July 29th\nTuesday\, August 5th\nTuesday\, August 12th\nTuesday\, August 19th\nTuesday\, August 26th\nLocation Finals: Tuesday\, September 9th\nNPC Grand Finals: Saturday\, September 13th at TLP!\n\nWe will have a max of 32 players for league\, so please sign up at the form above. We do not anticipate this will sell out\, but who knows. NPC dues ($30) can be paid in advance or at your first league night\, but must be paid before you can play. \nPlease note: If this is your first time playing at The Lower Playfield — we are in Goffstown\, NH. An address will be sent along with general information for the location the week prior to league with directions to the e-mail you registered at. We’re about 5-10 minutes out from Manchester\, depending on which way you get to us. Thanks! \n\nPaypal: paypal.me/mutterfudder\nVenmo: @Derek-Correia (Last 4: 4285)\n\nAny questions or concerns\, please reach out at hello@thelowerplayfield.com! \nFinals Format\nAs of close of week 3\, we have 18 participating players\, so we can now determine the finals payouts and format. \nA finals will be the top 8 players by seeding that are able to attend on September 9th (note: there is an off week for Labor Day between the 7 weeks and finals). Any other players will be allowed to play in B finals. \n“A” finals will be 4 player groups of 3 games. The highest seed in the group will be able to pick the final game. Game 1 will be a random modern\, and game 2 will be a random classic. Highest seed will have play order choice for game 1\, followed by seed order until all places are selected. After game 1\, the player who finished 4th will pick play order on the next game\, followed the player who finished 3rd\, and so on. The highest seed’s picked game can not be picked by that player again if they should advance to finals (though it may be randomly assigned). Scoring for finals games will be 4-2-1-0. \n“B” finals players will get seeded in a head-to-head bracket based on season finishing position. Depending on the number of players in B\, some players may get a first round bye. The players will play a best-of-3 game set\, with the highest seed picking the first game and the other player having pick of player order. After each game\, the player who lost will be able to pick the next game\, and the other player will pick player order. There are no restrictions on game selections other than the same game cannot be played in the 3-game set more than once. Play will continue until there is a B champion! \nPrizes for finals: \nA Division: \n\n1st: $80 and Grand Finals berth\n2nd: $65 and Grand Finals berth\n3rd: $50 and Grand Finals berth\n4th: $45 and Grand Finals berth\n\nB Division: \n\n1st: $40\n2nd: $20\n\nAt the end of finals\, we will need to confirm top 4 availability for Grand Finals.

We loved last year’s party so we’re bringing it back fully and completely. The only tournament each year where EVERYONE makes a final for prizes! \nPlayers should be ready to do a lot of ballin’\, as we’re bringing back Flip Frenzy! Two players play on a random game of all the games at TLP head to head! Player 1 will log the results (who won/lost) at the central computer at the bar\, then be told who their next opponent is! After playing 2 games\, take a short break in the queue for a few minutes until your next game! At the conclusion\, the top 16 will move on to a final\, and the bottom 16 will also move on to a final! Ties will be broken by win differential\, followed by most wins. Anyone tied in differential on the line between the two finals will play a tiebreaker on Meteor. If Meteor is unavailable\, the TD will select a game for tiebreakers. \nThe top 16 players at the end of the frenzy will go on to a three game\, random draw bank of 2 Classics\, 1 Modern game scored 4-2-1-0. Highest Seed will have choice of order for all 3 games\, followed by second highest seed\, and so on. The top 2 players from each group will go on until we reach the final 4\, and those 4 players will get cash prizes! \nNot in the top 16? You also make a (non-IFPA results-changing) playoff! These players will compete in a head to head bracket where the higher seed will pick a game not in use from the other finals or play order. The winner of that game will progress on in the bracket. The top 3 players in the Not-Top16 bracket will ALSO get a cash prize! \nBecause Derek takes on too many projects at once\, we still have 5 of our 2nd Anniversary posters from last year! Limited to 25 total\, hand numbered\, unframed\, and pressed on 80# card stock. Designed by professional poster artist and friend of TLP\, Jeff LaChance (Primus\, QOTSA\, Faith No More\, Melvins\, and many\, many more). They will be available to registrants when registration opens\, at the same $20 we sold them for last year. Didja miss the ringmaster last year? This could be your last chance (I’m sitting on like\, 3 more… for some point in time). Please\, if you won or purchased one last year\, refrain from registering for one this year.

SUMMARY:2025 Ice Ice Playfield Grand Championship
DESCRIPTION:Tournament Details\n\nDecember 13th\, 2025 at the Lower Playfield in Goffstown NH.\nThis event will be IFPA sanctioned.\nThis event is exclusive to the top 16 players of the 2025 Ice Ice Playfield Series. More information at the IIP Page here.\nDoors at 10 AM\, Tournament starts at 11.\nTarget matchplay to 20 points (4-3-2-1) until 8 players hit the target. Three Slow Strikes Knockout for the top 8 (0-0-1-1 and 0-0-1) til a champion.\n\nThis is it. The 2025 Ice Ice Playfield Championship will crown the ultimate winner of the IIP series. The tournament will be restricted to the 16 top points earners in the series who confirm their attendance. There is no entry fee or house fee for participants\, though we’d ask that you optionally donate a $10 house fee that will be split between IIA and TLP if you’d like. \nPlayers will be seeded based on their finishing order in the series. Rounds will proceed in this order: \n\nIn the first round\, high seeds will pick from any game available at TLP to play on.\nIn the second and third rounds\, pairings will be balanced (this initially said tiered swiss which is not possible\, as there’s no set rounds). The highest seed will pick the arena. Arena picks can not be repeated during the target matchplay phase.\nFrom the fourth round on\, arena selection will be made by balanced matchplay draw. Pairings from round four on will be full swiss.\nGames will be scored 4-3-2-1.\n\nWhen a player hits the target score\, they will be qualified for the finals until 8 players hit the target. If the target is hit by multiple players in the same round\, the only tiebreaker will be total points earned. If players cross at the same point total on the 8 player border\, they will be assigned a random classic arena as a tiebreaker. \nThe top 8 players will move on to strikes final. For the final\, arenas will be restricted to arenas in The Lower Playfield (aka the basement). Player seedings will be based on their performance in the target matchplay portion. If players tie for the same points and rounds\, the tiebreaker will be their initial seed. Groupings will be swissed initially based on seed. The highest seed will pick from any available and unpicked arena (or\, optionally defer arena choice for choice of position). Arena picks can not be repeated by a player throughout the strikes portion. Strikes will be 1 strike to 3rd and 4th place in 4 player groups\, and 3rd place in 3 player groups. \nSubsequent rounds will be swissed by strikes. Lowest strikes in the group will pick arena (if equal strikes\, strikes seeding will be the tiebreaker). Play will continue until one player remains! \nThis tournament will be streamed on Twitch and recorded for YouTube. \nFinal IIP standings are here: https://app.matchplay.events/series/3896 \nThe following players have been contacted to RSVP: \nNoah Crable\nJoe Lemire\nZoe Vrabel\nZheanna Murray\nBrian O’Neill\nVincent Vitiello\nCody Gamache\nJames McFatter\nWyatt Winters\nAlan Maclean\nChris Brunette\nAnthony Kret\nJoshua Moran\nDerek Correia\nErik Haynes\nJeff Pinard\n—-\nJeremy Gagnon\nEric Geddes\nMatt Lemoine\nSeth Gouin\nDrew Dolan\nLindsay Cole\nMicah Weston\nWill Parks \nConfirmed Attendees (manually updated after the series)\n\nDerek Correia (confirmed\, top 16)\nWyatt Winters (confirmed\, top 16)\nErik Haynes (confirmed\, top 16)\nAnthony Kret (confirmed\, top 16)\nChris Brunette (confirmed\, top 16)\nJosh Moran (confirmed\, top 16)\nJoe Lemire (confirmed\, top 16)\nVince Vitiello (confirmed\, top 16)\nAlan Maclean (confirmed\, top 16)\nZoe Vrabel (confirmed\, top 16)\nZheanna Murray (confirmed\, top 16)\nCody Gamache (confirmed\, top 16)\nJeffrey Pinard (confirmed\, top 16)\nBrian O’Neill (confirmed\, top 16)\nJames McFatter (confirmed\, top 16)\nNoah Crable (confirmed\, top 16)\n\nWaitlist\n\nJeremy Gagnon (Confirmed\, awaiting more RSVPs\, waitlist 1 seed)\nEric Geddes (Confirmed\, awaiting more RSVPS\, waitlist 2 seed)\nDrew Dolan (Confirmed\, awaiting more RSVPs)\nLindsay Cole (Confirmed\, awaiting more RSVPs)\nWill Parks (Confirmed\, awaiting more RSVPs)\n\n\nHouse Rules and Event FAQ\nThe Lower Playfield Code of Conduct\nCurrent Game List and Game Setup Guide\nPrize Schedule\nThe total fees collected for IIP in 2025 was $341. \nFirst Prize will take home $200. \nSecond: $100 \nThird: $41 and a voucher for a free house fee ($15 or less) at Ice Ice Arcade or The Lower Playfield \nFourth: Voucher for a free tournament entry fee ($35 or less) at Ice Ice Arcade or The Lower Playfield

If we end up lower than that\, we will size the divisions accordingly with IFPA regulations. \nBy 2/3rds vote taken on March 17th\, we will take 12 to A finals\, with the top 4 getting a first round bye. Format will continue as below: \nA finals will be the top 8 12 players by seeding that are able to attend. Any other players will be allowed to play in B finals. \n“A” finals will be 4 player groups of 3 games. The highest seed in the group will be able to pick the final game. Game 1 will be a random modern\, and game 2 will be a random classic. Highest seed will have play order choice for game 1\, followed by seed order until all places are selected. After game 1\, the player who finished 4th will pick play order on the next game\, followed the player who finished 3rd\, and so on. The highest seed’s picked game can not be picked by that player again if they should advance to finals (though it may be randomly assigned). Scoring for finals games will be 4-2-1-0. \n“B” finals players will get seeded in a head-to-head bracket based on season finishing position. Depending on the number of players in B\, some players may get a first round bye. The players will play a best-of-3 game set\, with the highest seed picking the first game and the other player having pick of player order. After each game\, the player who lost will be able to pick the next game\, and the other player will pick player order. There are no restrictions on game selections other than the same game cannot be played in the 3-game set more than once. Play will continue until there is a B champion! \nPrizes for finals: $360 total \nA Division: ($260) \n\n1st: $100 and a Grand Finals berth\n2nd: $70 and a Grand Finals berth\n3rd: $50 and a Grand Finals berth\n4th: $40 and a Grand Finals berth\n\nB Division: ($100) \n\n1st: $50\n2nd: $30\nBronze Medal Match winner: $20\n\nAt the end of finals\, we will need to confirm top 4 availability for Grand Finals.

SUMMARY:Take Another Little Pace of My Heart - Pace Matchplay Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Registration Link: https://forms.gle/75yxLTr2KgEER26K8\nTournament Details\n\nMarch 7th\, 2026 at the Lower Playfield in Goffstown NH.\nThis event will be IFPA sanctioned at an estimated 128% TGP. As this is an IFPA sanctioned tournament\, we will not be accepting IFPA opt-outs for this event.\nDoors at 10 AM\, Tournament starts at 11.\nPace Matchplay: 7 guaranteed rounds\, 22 point pace\, +7 per round. Group Matchplay Final for top 8.\nThis tournament is limited to 32 players.\nRegistration will begin Saturday\, February 21st at Noon.\n$35 per player ($20 Main Tournament entry\, $15 house fee (for trophies\, free play\, electricity offset\, snacks and drinks\, and IFPA endorsement fees)) is due via Paypal/Venmo within one week of registration.\n\nTLP is back in 2026 with our second ever Pace Match Play tournament! Think of it as a match play qualifier with a sense of dread: a pace car behind you at all times! Play will be done in balanced pairings all day\, starting on a shorter play game and alternating each round between shorter and longer playing games. Scoring will be 7-5-3-1\, or 7-4-1 in 3 player groups\, for each round. \nAt the end of the 7th round\, the pace will become active at 22 points. All players below the pace line will be eliminated\, and all players above the pace line will play again. Each round\, the pace line goes up 7 points. Win your next round and you’re safe for sure — anything else\, and you better hope you banked up enough points to continue! \nPlay will continue until we conclude a round at 8 players (or fewer!). We will take the top 8 players into the finals and will tiebreak for anyone in the top two seeds. If we end with less than 8 players (likely)\, seeding for top 8 will be the number of points scored in the round prior to elimination. In the case of any ties for the 8th spot\, we will tiebreak on a classic (short play) game. \nTop 8 will move on to a 3 game a round final scored 4-2-1-0 a game. Games will be a random drawn long play and short play game\, while the top seed in the group will have choice of game 3 at the start of the round. Game choice can not be repeated in the final. Play order in the final rounds will be same each game and will be chosen by high seed\, descending\, prior to the first game. \nBased on our prior pace tournament and other tournaments\, we expect that the pace portion will take between 4 to 5 hours (though some players may be eliminated earlier!)\, and the finals for the last 8 should wrap up in 90 to 120 minutes. \nPlayers who have Registered (manually updated\, please be patient)\n\nDerek Correia (Paid)\nJordan Knights (Paid)\nLindsay Cole (paid)\nSeamus Meader (cash)\nMicah Weston (paid)\nNicole Villacres (paid)\nDavid Huang (paid)\nAshley Carroll (paid)\nDrew Dolan (paid)\nVincent Vitiello (paid)\nMichael Brewster (paid)\nJoshua Moran (cash)\nDerek Carroll (paid)\nBILL MACDONALD (paid)\nMitch Gagnon (paid)\nJoe Lemire (cash)\nMichael Prince (paid)\nAdam Meader (cash)\nWill Parks (paid)\nCody Erickson (cash)\nAlan MacLean (paid)\nJames McFatter (paid)\nRyan Lazzarin (paid)\nJeremy Gagnon (paid)\nZackary Holt (paid)\nBrian O’Neill (cash)\nAllison O’Neill (cash)\nMike Desmarais (paid)\nVanilla Chris’t Brunette (paid)\nCody Gamache (paid)\nFrank Deneu (cash)\nTim Gillogly\n\nWaitlist\n\nZoe Vrabel\nAndy Hoffman\nAmber Lee\nSheri Hendricks\nNate Straz\nChip Morton\nTy Ueda\n\nNotified\, no response\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\nRegistration will begin Saturday\, February 21st at Noon.\nAt that time\, the registration link posted above will activate.
