New for 2025, we’re going to try a brand new invention. Two of the premier home locations in Southern New Hampshire — the world famous Ice Ice Arcade in Londonderry, NH and the less famous Lower Playfield in Goffstown New Hampshire — are teaming up to bring you the Ice Ice Playfield 2025 Pinball Series. Thats a mouthful! What does it all mean?

  • 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.
  • 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 by 1 point 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.

On December 13th, 2025 the top 16 series competitors will be invited to compete at the Lower Playfield for the series finals. This free to enter, IFPA Sanctioned Tournament will award $200 to the overall champion, as well as prizes for all! The finals will be streamed online on TheLowerPlayfied’s channels for all to see and cheer each other on!

More details are on the Series page, including details on the first tournament! All you have to do is exactly what you’ve been doing all along: showing up and playing pinball. Thank you for your continued support of our home based locations!

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.
