We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 PATZ Pinball Tournament is officially a Stern Pro Circuit event! This wouldn’t be possible without all of the dedicated tournament players who come back year after year and all of the folks who volunteer - we THANK YOU for your continued support of this event! As a reminder, all PATZ tournament entries raise funds to be donated to the National Alliance on Mental Illness in memory of Lyman Sheats Jr.

This is exciting news, but as you know PATZ is not only about the tournament, we also have a wonderful show filled with machines on the floor, vendors, an auction, and more. With this being the 25th Anniversary of PATZ, we are hopeful that this is the best year yet. Please stay tuned for information and updates coming soon!

We know many of you look forward to this entire event every year and we are very excited to celebrate this special milestone in the event’s history! Please visit our newly updated website for more information. We can’t wait to see you at the ‘Zoo!

Crazy that this will be 25 years since the first PATZ! Bring a game and get a t shirt to commemorate the moment!

25 years ago in April of 2000, a pinball show was started in KalamaZOO Michigan. (Pinball at the ‘Zoo) or PATZ

2023 was our best year with many games and lots of spectators and vendors, let’s keep it going in 2024.

Bring a game and get free admission and also a special t-shirt to let everyone know you helped to make a great show.
