Happy 2026

It’s time to update the pinball calendar! If you’re a host of a local pinball event please let me know if I need to make any changes.

Apologies for not keeping up on this website. My resolution for 2026 is to get better at it – so if you organize one of the many local pinball tournaments please reach out and let me know about any changes or new events. Like a lot of people I’m not overly fond of Facebook these days but unfortunately that is where most of the tournament announcements happpen so I’m going to dive back in to it (so you don’t have to). Wish me luck! editor@skill-shot.com
