Who, us?

We are the Professional & Amateur Pinball Association, known within the community as PAPA.

A 30,000 sq. ft. fully dedicated arcade warehouse jampacked with over 400 pinball machines and 20some cabinet video games serves as our headquarters, which is located in Scott Township, PA, USA. 10 miles SW of Pittsburgh.

Annually, we host the World Pinball Championships. Up next is PAPA 13, to be held August 12-15, 2010. Defending World Pinball Champion Keith Elwin of Carlsbad, California, USA puts his title on the line for the second time as the only player to ever win back-to-back championships in 2008 & 2009 @ PAPA’s 11 & 12.

Maybe one day we’ll be as good as him, but until then… we blog. When really, we should be practicing, but so should the rest of you challengers. Here is a glimpse into our pinball crazed minds, these are our ramblings. Feel free to add on, your comments are welcomed.
