The Stern Pinball Cup Begins!

Players.....Start your engines!

The Stern Pinball Cup is ready to begin, but before you pull up to the starting line, we want to get you geared up for what is sure to be a fast and furious competition!

The Stern Pinball Cup is a series of six, week-long races where players compete for rankings and badges. Any player competing in the Stern Pinball Cup will be placed in a specific skill tier based on their performance in previous races. Your skill tier can be raised or lowered based on performance of each race. Each race will have its own leaderboard, and progress can be tracked using Stern's Insider Connected App.

Here's how the scoring works: Each race will have specific, in-game objectives that need to be completed to earn race points. Every Stern Insider Connected Title is included in the Stern Pinball Cup. Each Race Week will deliver five new challenges from each Stern title, ranging from Very Easy to Very Hard. Each Race Challenge has a point value associated with it. Easier challenges are worth less than harder challenges. The more points you accumulate, the higher you'll place on the leaderboard.

Badges will be awarded after every race and will be awarded to players based on their performance. Badges are also designed to indicate the user’s tier they are competing in.

Qualifying begins on Friday, December 13th and runs through December 20th, with our first race beginning on December 21st. And if you miss out on qualifying, don't worry, you can jump into the Stern Pinball Cup anytime in December or January.

So buckle your seatbelts for the Stern Pinball Cup!

How do I get those tables with the cup holders that's in between the machines? @1:07

Great idea that i hope encourages more players logging in but im most looking forward to seeing it get broken and someone ruining it for everyone else.

I’m guessing this doesn’t include home machines.

I sure hope home machines are included! I prefer to not pay extra to play since I already own a machine.
On one hand, I feel that I play for free sinceI own it, but on the other hand, I had to pay for the machine, so technically I’m not playing for free until I play the machine enough to equal the cost.

Is there a mod available that holds 5 sheets of pinball glass safely and securely?

What are people playing for? We usually start there with any tournament. Anyone know?

If I ever buy a newer stern machine again the first thing I would do is block off that QR code reader. I don't need my pinball machine spying on me like everything else already is
