On Saturday, February 7, 2015, the Pinball Co-op hosted Vermont's first ever IFPA State Championship!

11 of the state's top qualifiers, based upon performance in IFPA sanctioned events that took place in Vermont faced off at the pinball club located in South Burlington. Seeded players battled in best of seven head to head matches to advance to the next round.

After four rounds, Steven Daniels defeated Todd Baumeister to become Vermont's first pinball state champion. He will likely head to Las Vegas in March to complete against all of the other state and provincial champions to determine who will become the next IFPA US National Champion!

l to r: Mat Barewicz, Steve Daniels, Todd Baumeister, Nick Pizzuti
