YEGPIN

July 20, 2023 - July 23, 2023

 
Die Hard Pinball League (DHPL) is super pumped to announce
 
YEGPIN: 2023 Pinball and Arcade Expo
is officially scheduled for July 20 – 23, 2023 at Millennium Place in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada.
 
DHPL is a non-profit society in Alberta with a mission to:
– Grow the hobby of pinball and arcade
– Provide an outlet for competitive pinball
– To donate and support organizations that fight Cancer.
In 2022, over 1,500 pinball and arcade enthusiasts attended YEGPIN. We had 5 world class pinball tournaments including the main event, which will be a 2023 Stern Circuit Event once again. The YEGPIN Match Play Championship featured 20 banks of machines (80 machines) and ran over 3 days of competition. We have an excellent track record of delivering a world-class pinball and arcade show; this is due to the unwavering support from our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, machine donors, technicians, competitors, and enthusiasts.
 
YEGPIN 2023 will again feature two full arenas, 30,000 square feet of pinball and arcade gaming and will be 4 full days of celebration and competition. We have a dedicated arena to hold all of our pinball tournaments, and will be our home for the Stern Circuit event YEGPIN Match Play Championships. There will be three other IFPA sanctioned events and the Youth Canadian Pinball Championships. Arena 1 will be fully open to the public on Thursday and Friday, but will have no play access to Arena 2 as that will be dedicated to tournament play. On Saturday and Sunday, both arena’s will open up to the public with a small portion that is dedicated to tournament play for those days.
