Each admission ticket will include one non-transferable entry into the tournament; additional entries can be purchased for $10 each. Each entry played receives a spot in an 8-player qualifying round. The winner of the qualifying round is qualified for the finals, while the runner-up receives a free entry so he or she can try again.

Tournament play will begin at 11am (even though the main Cupids event does not begin until 8pm). The final rounds will begin at 10pm and will be finished before midnight. Pinball players are invited to stay longer. All non-tournament pinball machines (there are over 400 on-site!) will be available for 50-cent play, and we encourage you to compete with your friends. All coins and tournament entry fees go directly to charity!

The 1st place winner of the final rounds will receive a pinball machine! This will be an authentic, classic electromechanical machine in good working order - great for your gameroom or basement. Second prize is a deluxe PAPA 12 entry package with four free entries, while third and fourth prize will be a standard PAPA 12 entry package.

Not only do we have over four hundred pinball machines on-site, we will also have the very latest machines from Stern Pinball, including Spider-Man, Shrek, Batman: The Dark Knight, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation!

All rules of the Cupids & Canines tournament will follow the spirit of the official PAPA rules; all rulings will be made by tournament officials and are final.

If you are traveling from outside the area to attend the tournament, you may be interested in the special $85/night rate available from the Radisson Greentree, which is just a couple of miles from the PAPA facility. Give them a call at 412-922-8400 and mention the "Pro-Am Pinball Association" event.
