Stern Army Halifax - April 26th 2026
Only $15 for an afternoon of pinball with a random draw to win a Stern translite.
We're looking for new, casual, and veteran players to come out for a fun afternoon of pinball. Registered with IFPA, you can score points and race up the standings throughout the year. Not interested in IFPA points? No sweat! There's no worries if you're just coming out to play a few games and share a few laughs. The more people coming out to play pinball, the better.
Chocolate lake tournaments are also welcome to all ages!
I'll be around at 12ish to start getting folks registered. Practice at 12:30 and a tournament start time of 1pm (should run til 4 to 5pm max).
8 to 10 rounds of 4 player matchplay.
Playoffs will be a single elimination bracket for minimum top 8 or 50% of players after round robin, whichever is lower. (1v8, 2v7, etc.).
Fee is $15. ($14 to host, $1 to IFPA)
Cash is appreciated for fee payment but I can accept etransfer as well.
Bring a friend, expose new folks to the wonderful community of pinball!
Shout out to Nathan Burgess for having us.
See you soon!

The owner gets $30 per player, $1 towards IFPA, & $9 towards gambling pool. Everyone playing will be in it & the owner & his guests at $10 a player. Top 3 payout, 50%, 30%, & 20% We will play 8 rounds of head to head matchplay, top 8 into head to head matchplay. Winners & losers final in groups of 4 for top 8 & money for top 3! This will likely be the biggest collection of private games & likely a large crowd. So spread the word incase we decide to cap the players for this event. Modern games mostly, just a sample game that went through service by me in the past.
