Munsters Pinball Launch Parties!

Stern’s released another pinball and with that come the launch parties! At the time of this post, there are two scheduled however word is an LE will be on location at 1up Greenwood, a Premium at 1up Colfax and I believe a Premium (possibly LE – definitely not a Pro, honestly forgot what Kevin told me, oops) will be at Lyons Classic Pinball.

The doors open at 11am and the tournament starts at 12pm sharp. It’s a $5 entry plus the cost of games for a 9 strike group knockout. WPPRs will be awarded, the top 4 players win cash and there will be random drawings for 1up gift cards as well as Stern swag. More details here.

Wonderland is combining their monthly double elimination tournament with The Munsters Launch Party at 1pm on February 23rd. It’s a $5 buy-in, the winner’s name gets added to the coveted Wonderland trophy and yes there will be Stern swag give-aways! More details here.

J Bo’s will be hosting a launch party on April 20th at 6pm with a $5 buy-in and payout to the top 3 players in their 3 strike group knockout. More details here.

January’s tourney will be a 3-strike knock-out but they’ll be mixing it up each month with a variety of formats so you’ll just have to come on down and find out what we’ll be playing each month!

IFPA Colorado State Championship 2018-19

- Update -

Congratulations to Donavan Stepp – our Colorado State Champ! Mat Brundage took him to game 7 and deserves a very sincere attaboy. Escher Lefkoff rounded out the top 3 with an incredible game on Iron Maiden, 1B on ball one and finished with just over 2B. His points per minute are the stat to truly watch.

Thank you to everyone who came out and especially to Dan Gutchess for all his hard work. I think he ran off with some Budweiser Girls towards the end.. 🍺

Today at 10:30am the top 24 players in Colorado will be battling at the 1up Colfax in a single elimination, best-of-seven bracket for the title of IFPA Colorado State Champion!

You can follow along with the winner’s bracket here. If you’d also like to see how the other 23 positions shake out, there are consolation brackets here.
