Frequently asked questions and answers
Do you have questions about our event? No problem! Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about the European Pinball Championship 2025.
What can we expect at the event?
The European Pinball Championship (EPC) is a major pinball tournament that is held annually in a different country.
However, our aim is to significantly expand this event and provide additional supporting programs in addition to the tournaments.
These include
- a large free play area
- A fully functional Lego pinball machine
- Seminars with experts from the pinball industry
- Exhibitors around pinball
The event is therefore planned and suitable for tournament players as well as families and enthusiasts.
When does registration for EPC2025 start?
Registration for the main tournaments and the overall event starts on February 23, 2025.
The exact time and the link for registration at pinballevents.de will be announced in good time.
Is there a hotel recommendation nearby?
We have created a list of local hotels, including information on how far they are from the event.
You can find this list here –> Hotel
Attention: The hotels usually have more rooms than they are offered on Booking.com or similar platforms, so a telephone or written request is recommended.
How many participants will be able to register?
The tournament system for the EPC Main and Classic tournaments is designed for 320 participants. In the event that demand is very high, we could expand the tournament format to 384 participants.
The other tournaments are similar in terms of participants.
In the event that more players register for the tournaments on site, we may have to adjust the final format to meet the IFPA requirements (e.g. final participants for JJP Highscore).
How many tournaments are planned for the weekend in total?
The 2 main tournaments are
- EPC 2025 Main
- EPC 2025 Classic
We are also organizing several tournaments during this long weekend
- EPC Warmup
- EPC Team
- EPC Woman Championship
- EPC Jersey Jack Highscore Tournament
It is possible that we will organize further tournaments on site, but this depends on the number of helpers and the interest of the players as well as the IFPA guidelines.
