The cost of league night events will be $3 in 2023. What does the entrance fee go to?
Currently the only sanctioned event for league is the open league. For non sanctioned events the $3 will be going to the Manitoba Pinball League.
In the past the league has bought trophy plaques for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for the finals of each league. We have also boosted the prizes of some events with the money coming in. In the future money will be going towards pizza during events. There is also a plan to have some random door prize draws, so you have a chance to win something by showing up.

The Manitoba Pinball League is offering a way to get into events we host for free. All you have to do is bring someone new to an event. There is no limit on the cost of the events, Manitoba Pinball League will pay your entry when you bring someone new. This will go on for the summer at least. We will update everyone when the incentive is over.
The Manitoba Pinball League has set dates for all leagues. We have also setup a schedule of tournaments until September. Some of the tournaments will have more information added later.
