That's thirty-three hours of qualifying, and three hours of finals!

Special mini-tournaments will take place throughout the event. At any time during qualifications, players may choose to enter one of five special mini-tournaments, with each entry costing $5 (no registration is required). Each mini-tournament has a special style of play, such as one-handed, two-minute drill, or "split flipper" (two players, one controlling each flipper at the same time). Prizes and other details are available at the registration desk.

The entire event takes place at the Best Western Parkway Center Inn on the Parkway West (I-279) just west of Pittsburgh, PA. For more information, please visit the hotel & travel page.
