The UK Pinball Open is a two day tournament with a qualifying round on Saturday and a series of final rounds on Sunday. The top players from Saturday's qualifying round progress to Sunday's rounds where they meet to top players from the UK Pinball League to win cash prizes, trophies, medals and more. Players do not need to pre-register and can sign up at the show on the Saturday.

Entry to the UK Pinball Open costs £5 and entitles players to a game on all of the five qualifying machines. All the scores on the five machines are ranked and points are awarded according to where each player finishes in the rankings.

At the end of the qualifying session on Saturday, the twenty players with the most ranking points will go forward to Sunday's final rounds where they meet the UK Pinball League's top players in a series of rounds, leading to the grand final later Sunday afternoon.

Prizes, trophies and World Pinball Player Ranking points will be awarded to all finalists and - depending on the number of players - may be awarded to everyone who plays in the UK Pinball Open, even those who do not qualify.

More details of all these exciting tournaments will appear here nearer the show dates along with full rules and information on how to join the fun.
