Start Date: July 31, 2025
End Date: August 03, 2025

NOW part of the Stern Pro Circuit in 2025! More players make playoffs! More cash winners! Plus in 2025, an hour of practice time!

THE BEAST will once again be held at Pocketeer Billiards, 2444 Clinton St., in Buffalo, NY.

Weekend passes for THE BEAST (Main, Classics, Women’s) are $99 and go on sale on Friday, April 11 at noon ET online at www.pinballprofile.com/thebeast. Limited to the first 160 players. Confirmation and payment option will be sent once registration form is completed. These confirmations are done manually to avoid transaction fees. A wait list will be taken for those not in the first 160 registered. Payment (via Venmo or PayPal) will be required by Friday, April 25th at 6pm ET for those registered online, otherwise you will be on the waitlist for THE BEAST. Those who pay before Friday, April 25th at 6pm ET will receive an early bird bonus of 10 free game entries (a $30 value)! The registration fee covers usage of the Main, Classics, and Womens’ pinball machines (turned to free play), IFPA fees, Stern Pro Circuit fee, delivery of other machines, software, trophies, other tournament expenses, and the remainder is put into the prize pool for Main, Classics, and Women's.

For THE BEAST Main, Classics, and Women’s Tournaments players can purchase unlimited tickets to play individual games on their respective tournament machines (Herb style format). Each player's best score on each machine is tracked and those scores are ranked against the other competitor's scores using the Never Drains software. Players receive an aggregate of their machine rankings on their required number of games in each tournament to determine their overall qualifying position. Tickets are priced at 3 for $10, 7 for $20, or 20 for $50 (cash sales only at the Event, although you can purchase these online before the event starts). All money from paid tickets goes into the prize pools. All playoff finalists for THE BEAST Main, Classics and Women’s receive cash prizes based on their finishing position. Additional prizes are given to the top 4 from their respective tournament sponsors. Final payouts are determined by their tournament’s prize pools based on paid entries. There will also be random prize draws throughout THE BEAST.

THE BEAST Main Tournament features up to 20 LCD, DMD, and solid state pinball machines. Qualifying happens all day both Thursday and Friday, and Saturday until 8pm. Your top scores on 9 different machines determine your ranking. At the end of qualifying Saturday night, the top 40 players (up from 24) will play in the “A” playoffs, beginning Saturday evening. The next 8 who are “B” division eligible will play for the “B” championship on Sunday. Cash prizes for top 40 in “A” and top 8 in “B”. This IFPA Certified+ Main tournament is scheduled for 288% TGP with the boost (if 128 players or more).

BEAST BOOSTER tickets for $225 (limited to 15) go on sale at 11am ET, which is one hour before general sales on April 11th. These BEAST BOOSTER tickets include weekend pass for Main, Classics and Women's, 30 free entries ($80 value), a BEAST t-shirt, a special larger limited edition BEAST poster signed by artist Joel de Guzman, the ability to be the first to cue on Friday and Saturday morning, plus an additional hour of exclusive qualifying during the Saturday volunteer hour...in which BEAST BOOSTER players have their entries for FREE.
