The Rose City Showdown IV will occur February 17th-19th at the Slingshot Lounge in Southeast Portland. Pinball has been experiencing a worldwide resurgence in recent years, and professional pinball players and enthusiasts from around the globe will attend this tournament! Last year over $7,000 dollars worth of cash and prizes were given away to finalists. This event will be the tournament that is talked about across the country until the 2013 Showdown.
The Showdown actually consists of two separate tournaments, an Open tournament and a Classics tournament. The Open tournament is played on newer machines, typically from the early 80's through today, and the Classics tournament is played on machines from the 60's to the very late 70's. This event attracts players of all ages (over 21) and our unique format is one of the few IFPA (International Flipper Pinball Association) sanctioned major events held at a pub.
