Ground Kontrol’s 15th annual 128-player pinball tournament Portland Pinbrawl XV is coming up this April! The tournament sold out the same day that tickets went on sale a couple of weeks ago, but we reserved a handful of tickets to give aweay to the top players at this month’s pinball tournaments leading up to Pinbrawl. The top finishing player *who isn’t already registered for Pinbrawl* from each of the pinball tournaments listed below will win their spot in Pinbrawl!
🔑 GOLDEN FLIPPER KEYCHAINS
The winner of any of our recurring monthly pinball tournaments will win a golden flipper keychain! Two variants of these keychains (blue/red sided and white both sides) are now available to purchase at Ground Kontrol, but the golden variant can only be won!
