The Maple Pinball Spring Spectacular is coming April 26-28/24! 4 events over one weekend, 2 of them IFPA Certified! Maple Pinball in Mississauga is home to 65 new and classic machines.



TICKETS GO ON SALE: SATURDAY, MARCH 2 AT NOON ET via a google form posted on the Facebook page Saturday at noon and to those who email interest in this event (see email at bottom). Capped at 72 players.

This is a weekend package only. You are signing up for the first 3 events. The 4th is optional. Doors open at 5:30pm on Friday.



One lucky person will win a ticket to this year's sold out Pinburgh, July 25-27 just outside Pittsburgh, PA. This is the return of one of IFPA's Major events, and the first time since 2019.

How do you win??? A random draw! Anyone can win!

- Each person who plays in the weekend event will receive one ballot. You must play at least half of each of the first 3 events to receive ANY ballots.

- For those that make the Match Play playoffs (event #3), they will receive an extra ballot for each round they advance (max 4).

- On Friday night until 8pm (this one-time only), weekend players may purchase 1 extra ballot for $10 or 3 ballots for $20. This means everyone will have at least one ballot, and the maximum someone can have is 8.

- Draw to be made before the Main event finals begin Sunday afternoon (approx. 3pm) visible to all on PickerWheel website.

- Prize is non-transferable. Winner must be playing in the tourneys. If the winner cannot attend Pinburgh (why are you in this weekend tourney?) or already has a Pinburgh ticket, they will receive $350 USD in lieu of this prize (the Pinburgh ticket will be turned over to Pinburgh for their waitlist). The winner has 7 days to decide if they will accept or receive the cash prize instead.

4. 3 Strikes event. Sunday at 3pm. Note: if a player(s) in the Main event playoffs insist on playing, they will not be allowed to play and this will then become a cash only/non-IFPA, so we will be sure to shame them for their greed, and mock this new IFPA rule. This is an additional $15 fee for those interested (to be paid at event by April 27).
