AMD presents the SA Pinball Open (14-16 May)
The organising committee that brought you the SA Masters is excited to announce the biggest pinball event in South Australian history, The AMD SA Pinball Open.
AMD, that fine purveyor of Stern pinball machines and long time supporter of the pinball community and tournament scene, is the Naming Rights Sponsor of the event. AMD’s sponsorship will help defray your ticket costs and go towards prize money. Thank you, Michael & Bruce.
We have 43 pinball machines, in good working order and great variety. There will be many machines here you haven’t played in a long time, if at all. (A selection of 43 from the list below, with some extras to be added).
Up to 100 competitors in the flip frenzy, main event limit most likely 64 players. At least 4 tournaments with the formats to be determined shortly. We’ll let you know when tickets are available for sale. It will be through eventbrite or similar.
The venue is a very large ballroom at 66 Orsmond St, Hindmarsh, 5 minutes drive from the Adelaide CBD. There are some airbnb apartments in Bowden that are walking distance, or you can stay in a hundreds of hotels/apartments in Adelaide city or North Adelaide.
Apologies for the short notice but covid has upset our planning. Travel restrictions to SA from QLD and NSW will be eased from 12 April. (See travel notice below)
Special thanks to Major Sponsor Amusement Worx, another great supporter of the pinball scene in Adelaide and previous host of the SA Masters. They are providing tech support during the event, supplying many of the machines, and doing most of the transport.

Apologies to BPAC and Brisbane Masters, Jimmy & Lambo, our committee met today and approved this announcement. The announcement about travel restrictions easing on 12 April has only just been made. I got a shock when I went online to post this and saw your post at 5pm. I thought about delaying our announcement a few days but given the short time frame before our event I thought we’d better get it up so people can make plans. Sorry for the clash of announcements.
