2020/21 Island Championship – Recap

We began the 2020/21 Island Championship earlier this month with the top 24 players from IFPA sanctioned events that took place on Vancouver Island in 2020 and 2021. The Top 16 met yesterday at Powerhouse Pinball for the Grand Finals to determine who took home “the belt”.

It was a long day of 4 rounds of head-to-head best of 7 matchups to crown a champion and crown a champion we did. Our inaugural “Battle for the Belt” took place in 2019 which saw Fuji defeat Karrie in 6 games, the last of which was on Iron Maiden. It was almost deja-vu all over again as Fuji and Karrie met in the finals once again, it went 6 games with the final game being Iron Maiden, however this year Karrie bested Fuji to claim top prize!

The top 4 players for the championship were:

  1. Karrie
  2. Fuji
  3. Steve W
  4. Brent

Full results of the tournament bracket can be found here. Congratulations Karrie for taking home the belt this year and congratulations to all the competitors who brought their best to this tournament!
