At IFPA, sanctioned events are starting August 1. According to their website:
The IFPA will officially resume sanctioning events for WPPR points starting August 1, 2021.
Tournament and League Directors are welcome to begin submitting events to the IFPA calendar using their tournament manager accounts. The 30-day advance notice rule is still in effect, so any event held on August 1 must be submitted by July 2. Until further notice, non-US events with fewer than 16 participants at private locations will be sanctioned provided that registration for those events is public. Any leagues that were unable to complete their 2020 seasons can pick up where they left off, but the IFPA will not retroactively sanction events: leagues or tournaments held between March 17, 2020, and July 31, 2021, are not eligible for WPPR points.
Please note the following updates on IFPA championships as we resume the sanctioning of events.
The 2021 qualifying seasons (with finals in 2022) for the following championship series have been cancelled:
– IFPA North American Championship Series
– IFPA Women’s North American Championship Series
– IFPA European Championship Series
– any IFPA Country Championship Series
The cancelled championships listed above will return with 2022 qualifying seasons (and finals in 2023). Sanctioning fees will continue to be collected in North America during the 2021 season. Those funds will be distributed as part of the 2022 season prize package.
The IFPA17 World Pinball Championship originally scheduled for June 2020 has been rescheduled for May 26-29, 2022. The 2022 IFPA Women’s World Championship and IFPA North American Pinball Championship have been cancelled.
We expect all organizers and attendees to follow the health and safety guidance from local health officials, the World Health Organization (WHO), and national bodies like the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). We encourage tournament directors to implement whatever health and safety requirements they feel will make their event as safe and welcoming as possible. As long as these guidelines are clearly stated upon announcement of the event, the IFPA supports their enforcement.
While we are thrilled to resume sanctioning, we want to acknowledge that not all organizers, venue owners, and tournament and league directors are necessarily ready to facilitate competitive events. This has been a challenging period for many people who are still navigating difficult decisions regarding future events, and we ask players to be considerate and respectful in those circumstances.
Please contact us with any questions. Good luck, have fun, and stay safe!

GAD Knows Sales and Service
Jersey Jack Pinball (JJP) is the industry leader in quality and technical innovation, designing groundbreaking pinball machines made for players, collectors and newcomers to the game. Made in America, our head-turning machines are crafted by artisans and innovators with a nod to the game’s rich history and an eye towards the future.
Easy to play – difficult to master, our games feature several industry firsts, including the use of LCD screens, LED lighting, rich audio, and interactive technology designed to provide an enhanced player experience, engage hardcore players and draw new players to the game of pinball.
Jersey Jack Pinball began when veteran amusement industry figure Jack Guarnieri saw that the time was right for premium, no-compromise new pinball machines. Drawing upon more than 36 years in the industry, first servicing electro-mechanical pinball machines, later developing amusement centers, designing games, and pioneering online sales, Jack set out to create what he believed to be, the greatest pinball machines.
Encouraged by customers and friends, he created the company and began assembling people with a deep understanding of the craft and passion for the game, including industry legends such as designer Pat Lawlor, artist John Youssi, and programmers Ted Estes and Keith Johnson.
Soon, people began to notice and the rest is history.
Once you play a JJP game, you understand the level of attention to detail, innovation and mechanical magic captured in our machines.
Jersey Jack Pinball machines are playable works of art that are built to last and mark unique milestones in the history of the game, providing owners an exceptional value from day one and for years to come.
We’re committed to creating machines that feature the qualities valued by the game’s most discerning players and collectors, and to advancing the category through innovation and accessibility, time and again proving that pinball is a game for the ages.
