Australian Championship Series 2026

Best 20 events for the 2025 qualifying season

64 players will qualify for the IFPA Australian Championship.

The top 4 or 6 players in each IFPA State/Territory Championship will be invited to compete in the IFPA Australian Pinball Championship. The remaining places in the field of 64 for the IFPA Australian Pinball Championship will be filled using the ACS standings, where players are ranked according to the WPPR points earned in all tournaments played in Australia during the calendar year.

Even with the changes to the WPPR calculations in 2024, a player’s best 20 results will count towards their standing.
