HOW TO REGISTER
OPTION #1:
BUY YOUR TICKET
February 22, 2020 @ Noon EST
Tickets become available for purchase at exactly Noon EST on February 22, 2020. It is highly recommended any competitor who wishes to participate in Pinburgh 2020 attempt to purchase their Pinburgh ticket at exactly Noon EST on February 22 due to the tournament’s long history of fast sellouts.
At exactly Noon EST, all Replay FX ticketing options will become available. If you already have the website fully loaded on your screen and the ticketing options do not appear, please remember to refresh your browser.
For convenience, the Pinburgh Tournament Reservation ticket option will be the first available option for purchase. Once this ticket option is selected and added to your shopping cart, you will have exactly 15 minutes to complete the transaction. Please note that once the 15 minute timer is active and counting down, there is little reason to rush. On average, the checkout process takes just over 2 minutes, so please be certain all of the information you are entering at that time is correct.
Information that you will need during checkout include:
- Billing Name, Address, Credit Card

Each person is permitted to purchase up to five Pinburgh entries at the same time. We permit this type of bulk purchase to help ease the burden on families and groups who are attempting to participate together. Please note that tickets are non-transferrable, so all names must be entered for each ticket at the time of purchase.
OPTION #2:
JOIN THE WAITLIST
February 22, 2020 @ 1PM EST
If the tournament sells out before you are able to purchase your Pinburgh ticket, then the most effective way to enter the tournament is via the Pinburgh waitlist, which can be found here: Pinburgh Waitlist.
The waitlist is used to fill openings in the tournament that are created by players who purchase a ticket but are unable to attend for any reason. Our system progresses through the list of names on the waitlist in the order they signed up, so the sooner you put your name on the waitlist, the more likely it is your name will be called.
If your turn on the waitlist arrives, you will receive an automated e-mail from Showclix offering a link to purchase a single ticket. Each of these e-mails expires 48 hours from the time it is sent, so please make sure that e-mails from Showclix and Replay FX do not get caught in your spam filter.
OPTION #3:
WIN AND YOU'RE IN
Pinburgh staff reserves several entries each year for use as prizes at other satellite pinball tournaments. Satellite competition location and dates are available here.

Names will be chosen to fill these “no-show” openings with priority given to the order of the existing waitlist.

QUALIFYING ROUNDS
EACH ROUND 4 COMPETITORS
PLAY FOUR 4-PLAYER GAMES
ORDER OF FINISH ON EACH GAME
DETERMINES WIN-LOSS RECORD
FOR THAT ROUND
1: GROUP ASSIGNMENTS & ROUNDS
Pinburgh is a three-day tournament consisting of two full days of qualifying rounds plus a third day for competitors who qualify for a final round bracket.
During each qualifying round, competitors are placed in groups of four players and compete against one another on four different pinball machines. The tournament is scored in terms of wins and losses versus the other competitors, so the best possible score any competitor can receive in a round is 12 wins and 0 losses.
If a competitor were to win every game of every qualifying round, he or she would have a final score of 120 wins and 0 losses. The highest qualifying score in Pinburgh history is Keith Elwin’s 2016 performance of 95 wins and 25 losses.
2: THE TOURNAMENT ADVANCES
Competitors are assigned a different group of three opponents AND a different set of four pinball machines to play during each successive round. In later rounds, each competitor’s win-loss record is taken into account when assigning opponents. Distributing the “strength of schedule” in this fashion helps make the tournament as fair as possible.
Similarly, the sets of four games that are assigned during each round are drawn from different eras of pinball, forcing competitors to play on pinball machines ranging in age by more than 60 years.
Competitors do not know which set of four machines they will be playing, or which three opponents they will be competing against until moments before each round begins.
3: QUALIFYING FOR FINAL ROUNDS
At the conclusion of the first five qualifying rounds, competitors are assigned to one of five skill divisions: A / B / C / D / E.
Competitors with the most wins after five rounds are assigned to Division “A”, while competitors who have fewer wins are assigned appropriately down the ladder to Divisions B / C / D and E. On the second day of Pinburgh, during Rounds 6-10, competitors only compete against opponents within their own skill division.
At the conclusion of Round 10, the top 40 competitors in each division will advance to a separate final round bracket that takes place on the third day of the tournament.
The Division “A” final round bracket determines the overall Pinburgh champion, while each lower divisional final round receives its own set of awards. Running multiple final rounds separated by skill level allows Pinburgh to offer an entertaining yet challenging (and social!) experience for everyone.
4: DECLARING A CHAMPION
The final round bracket functions the same way as each previous round. Finalists are seeded into 4-player groups based on their individual qualifying win-loss records that were accrued over the first two days of the tournament.
These 4-player groups then compete against one another on four different pinball machines, and the top two players out of each group advance into the next round of the bracket until a champion is crowned.
COMMON RULINGS
Tournament directors make hundreds of rulings during each Pinburgh. The official rule book is available online for anyone who wants to take a deeper dive and learn how things work in greater detail, but for the most part, the vast majority of rulings made during Pinburgh are the same from year to year. In order to help reduce these common mistakes made by competitors, we have listed the most common errors and their associated rulings below.
AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE GAME IS BROKEN
Because the tournament needs to move quickly from round to round, it is not possible to make significant repairs during a match. A new machine will be assigned to the group for immediate play, and the game in progress will be declared void.
A COMPETITOR TILTS THROUGH ANOTHER COMPETITOR'S BALL
Competitor receives a score of zero for that game.
A PINBALL BECOMES STUCK
The rules covering how to handle pinballs that are stuck somewhere on the playfield are extensive and depend on the situation, but the normal procedure is for a tournament official or technician to remove the glass, retrieve the pinball, and place it on a flipper.
A COMPETITOR PLAYS OUT OF TURN
Competitor receives a score of zero for that game.
A COMPETITOR IS LATE
The first thing to do in this situation is alert a tournament director immediately. Any player absent 10 minutes after the start of a round will be disqualified from that round and receive a score of 0 wins and 12 losses. The remaining players will receive a new scoresheet removing the absent player from the group. Players cannot accrue wins in Pinburgh by “defeating” other absentee players.
