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,
