<p>A few days ago, Zen Studios put out a massive new patch for <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/pinball_fx3">Pinball FX3</a></strong> on Nintendo Switch that boosted handheld performance to a whopping 60fps, bumped docked resolution up to 1080p and made a slew of other additions and enhancements to make the game that much more enjoyable to play. In light of this patch, and just for a spot of competitive weekend gaming, we’ve opened up a tournament on Pinball FX3 that you can participate in <em>right now</em>.</p>
<p>The details for the event are as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Tournament Name:</strong> NL</p>
<p><strong>Table:</strong> Sorcerer’s Lair</p>
<p><strong>Length:</strong> Three days</p>
<p><strong>Rules:</strong> Classic</p>
<p><strong>Password:</strong> Reggie</p>
<p>We picked Sorcerer’s Lair for the inaugural debut because that table comes free with the game, meaning that you have no good reason <em>not</em> to compete. The rules of the tournament are the same you’d find in a standard arcade: three balls, unlimited plays, no power-ups. And, of course, we had to appoint Reggie as the gatekeeper of our competition.</p>
<p>The tournament will be running through Sunday, and we’ll post a breakdown on Monday with the results of our top players. Though no prizes are being offered for this tournament, you will be rewarded with the satisfaction of knowing that you are objectively better than everyone else on this site at playing pinball. If you think you’re good enough, we <em>dare</em> you to come give it a go. If you don’t think you’re good enough, we <em>double dog dare</em> you to jump in.</p>
