Compete | Leaderboards and tournaments
Real pinball.
Real rivals.
On your
phone.
Every table in Pocket Pinball has a worldwide leaderboard, with scores read straight from the game. Take on a new Table of the Week every Monday, climb the world standings, and enter free tournaments run on real pinball formats.
Three ways to compete
Pick your fight
Every week
Table of the Week
A new table every Monday, and one board for everyone on it. Play it as often as you like: your best score counts, and the week’s top score takes it.
All year
World standings
Reach the podium on any table’s board to earn points: 5 for gold, 3 for silver, 1 for bronze. Points from every table add up to your place in the world.
Events
Tournaments
Register free, play your qualifying games on your own time, then fight through the finals. Formats follow IFPA rules, and the podium earns patches for their profile.
World standings
Who to beat
Podium points across every table | Updated hourly
Fair play
Scores you can trust
A leaderboard is only worth climbing if every score on it is real. These rules hold on every board and in every tournament.
Read from the game
Your final score is read from the table’s own display when the game ends, so nobody types a number in. Scores checked this way carry a Verified play tag.
Pooled by machine
Every release of the same machine shares one board, so the competition is not split across versions.
One version per tournament table
Each tournament table is locked to a single release, checked when your game starts.
Games on record
Tournament games are recorded, and disputed games are reviewed before any result is final.

Play what everyone plays
The charts show the most played tables on Pocket Pinball, updated every hour. The busiest boards are the best place to test yourself.
Is it free to compete?
Yes. Leaderboards, the Table of the Week and every tournament are free, like the rest of Pocket Pinball.
What do I need to get on a leaderboard?
Sign in to Pocket Pinball and set your three initials. After that, scores post to the table's board when each game ends.
Which tables have leaderboards?
All of them. Your own VPX tables and Fan Arcade tables both post to their board, and every release of the same machine shares one board.
How do tournaments work?
Register in the app, play your qualifying games any time before the round closes, and the top qualifiers go through to the finals. See the Tournaments page for formats and dates.
Do results count for the IFPA?
No. The formats follow IFPA rules, but results are not submitted to the IFPA.
