The Ice Ice Playfield tournament series is a group of pinball tournaments hosted in Southern New Hampshire at the only two home-IFPA-tournament locations in the state:
- The Ice Ice Arcade in Londonderry, NH
- The Lower Playfield in Goffstown, NH
The series consists of all IFPA Sanctioned tournaments (unless noted) from January through November at these two locations. These events will be added below as they are announced:
- Love Stinks at The Lower Playfield on February 22nd
- April Fool Shootout at Ice Ice Arcade on March 29th
- WPPRMania III (Main Event and Survivor Series tournaments) at The Lower Playfield on April 26th

- V Ice’s National Pepperoni Pizza Day at Ice Ice Arcade On September 20th
- Spooky Ice 9 at Ice Ice Arcade on November 1st
We expect that — at years end — there will be an equal number of tournaments at both locations. We hope that you’ll patronize both spots in your quest to top the IIP leaderboard and make the final 16!

Series Rules
- Players playing at IFPA sanctioned tournaments at either location in 2025 will earn Ice Ice Playfield (herefore, IIP) ranking points based on their finishing position. This is in addition to any other prizes, IFPA WPPR points, and things that come with those tournaments.
- Points will be awarded in the following way using the 95% decay modified scoring system:
- 100 IIP points to the winner of a tournament.
- 95 Points to the second place finisher
- 90 Points to the third place finisher
- 85 Points to the 4th place finisher
- 81 Points to the 5th place finisher, scaling down for each position below 5th
- The best 5 tournament results for a player will count towards their final ranking, so even if you can’t make every tournament next year, your best showings will be your point total!
- The series will run from January 1st, 2025 to November 30th, 2025. All IFPA sanctioned tournaments at both Ice Ice Arcade and The Lower Playfield will earn you series points (unless otherwise specified ahead of time).
Series Finals
Series Finals will be hosted at The Lower Playfield on December 13th.
The top 16th Series Finishers will be invited to participate. The winner will go home with $200 and be named the inaugural IIP Series Champion. The tournament will be streamed on Twitch and recorded for YouTube.
We would appreciate sponsors for prizes and trophy/stream placement for the IIP Finals! If you are interested in supporting this effort, please reach out at hello@thelowerplayfield.com.
