This tournament will be open to anyone seventeen (17) years of age or younger, as of the date of the tournament. Players ranked in the top 250 by the IFPA are not eligible for this tournament. A and B Division finals will be offered, dependent upon the number of participants.

The Juniors Tournament will take place entirely on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at The Pinball Capital (3200 W Le Moyne St, Stone Park IL 60165), as part of the larger PAPA 23 event.

Check-in will begin at 1:30pm. Qualifying will be 4 rounds of Matchplay starting at 2pm. Finals will begin at 4:30pm.
