Season 9 of the Toledo Pinball League features six qualifying weeks followed by a finals playoff. The league meets every other Wednesday. Each night includes five games played in four player groups, and only four of the six qualifying sessions count toward the standings so the two lowest or missed weeks are dropped.

In the finals, about half the field advances and is arranged into four player groups without exceeding 50 percent of entrants. Those players compete in group elimination with three games per round, and byes may occur depending on turnout, with details subject to change. Remaining players move to B finals, where qualifying points carry over into seven rounds of group match play, also subject to change.

Once the match ends, players at that table vote to recognize a Most Valuable Pilot, highlighting contributions like assisting newer players, fostering a fun atmosphere, or any actions that improved the experience for everyone. Each MVP receives a prize. Team colors from the table winners are counted to determine the overall winning team, which earns a team prize. If there is a tie, the organizer may resolve it with a tie breaker game, rock paper scissors, a raffle, or a dice roll. After the organized play concludes, casual games are welcome to continue.

Immerse in a weekend of sound healing training that emphasizes personal connection and the restorative qualities of vibration. Designed for both newcomers and experienced practitioners, it explores how sound can support well-being, help release blocks, and encourage deep relaxation and renewal through instruments such as crystal singing bowls, drums, and chimes.

The second day centers on integration. The training consolidates the skills covered, provides step by step guidance for setting up sound healing sessions, and shares everyday techniques for emotional balance, stress relief, and spiritual alignment so the work can continue beyond the weekend.
