Pinball at the LAB

Match Play Classic

Registration opens Saturday, August 10 at 9am PDT.

The original Target Match Play event returns in 2024 to the Riverside Game Lab as a Stern Pro Circuit event with an expanded field of 120 players!

As Riverside Game Lab has transitioned to a card-based system, there will no coin drop. In place of it, there will be a $20 Location Fee which includes a pre-loaded card to enjoy other games at the Riverside Game Lab.

PATL is a tiered-swiss format tournament.

Players will be placed into four-player groups (occasionally three-player) to compete on an individual, randomly selected machine.

Points will be awarded based upon performance on that machine (3/2/1/0) and added to a running total for the tournament.

A player qualifies for finals by reaching or passing a target value of 30 points at which point the player no longer competes in the qualification rounds.

Match play will continue until all available finals positions are filled.

If the time allotted for match play expires prior to filling all finals positions, the remaining positions will be filled based upon rankings tabulated at the conclusion of the final match play round.
