Fourth Saturday Strikeout - Pinball Tournament at Solid State

About this event

Every month, Kansas City pinball players gather at Solid State Pinball Supply for one of the most approachable, competitive, and fun tournaments in the region—and you’re invited. Our 4th Saturday Pinball Tournament is built for everyone, from seasoned tournament grinders to players entering their very first IFPA-sanctioned event. The format is a 3-strike group knockout , which means fast rounds, constant action, and plenty of chances to bounce back before you’re out. Finish 3rd or 4th in a group and you take a strike (only 3rd place takes a strike in 3-player games). Three strikes and you’re out—but until then, every game matters. As the field thins, the tension rises. Groups get tougher, stakes get higher, and eventually it all comes down to one last player standing. Entry is just $5 , with nearly all of it paid back out to the players, keeping the focus on fun, competition, and community—not big buy-ins. Doors open at 10am , registration begins at 1pm , and flippers go live at 2pm . Tournament players receive a discounted $15 day pass , and monthly passes are available if you want to stay and play all day, every day. Whether you’re chasing WPPRs, sharpening your skills, or just want a reason to play great pinball with great people, this is the perfect way to spend a Saturday. Come flip, compete, and be part of Kansas City’s pinball scene.
