Divisions & Prizes
Pinburgh 2026 features three divisions of competitive singles play: A, B, and C. Players of all skill levels are welcome, and divisions are assigned based on standings.
On Sunday, we’re also proud to host the Women’s International Pinball Tournament (WIPT™). Women are encouraged to play in both WIPT and the main Pinburgh tournament if they choose.
After Day One of match play, all players will be sorted into divisions based on their standings. Tiebreakers will be handled according to the official tournament rules. On Day Two, players continue in their assigned divisions, carrying over their existing standings.
At the conclusion of Day Two, the top 24 players in each division will advance to the finals, with additional players placed on a waitlist in rank order.
