In every group, each participant chooses one machine for the session, and points are awarded by finishing position on each game... seven for first, five for second, three for third, one for fourth, with three player groups using seven, four, one. Points add up across the season to set the standings, and after the seventh week the two lowest or missed weeks are dropped. Finals are held in the eighth week for the top eight players, with groups of four playing three games using PAPA scoring of four, two, one, zero. If a qualified player cannot attend, seeds below move up to keep the field full. For each game the highest remaining seed selects either the machine or the player order, followed by the next highest seed, and the top two in each group advance to another round with the same format. A player may choose any given game only once during the finals. Additional finals for those outside the main division will be determined by attendance. League dues are $20, plus coin drop on the machines you play. All dues are paid back in full through cash payouts, trophies, prizes, and IFPA fees.

NEPA Yoga Festival

NEPA Yoga Festival 2026 centers on the spirituality of yoga, exploring philosophy, lineage, devotion, and the deeper practices that inform life beyond the mat. Guided by highly qualified teachers, master practitioners, and respected voices in yoga philosophy, meditation, breathwork, Ayurveda, and sacred movement, the weekend is designed as an immersive retreat that honors tradition while embracing modern excellence. Set on the open-air grounds of Montage Mountain Waterpark, practice unfolds amid sky, trees, and fresh mountain air. Early Bird pricing is available for a limited time and will rise as the event approaches. The theme focuses on the spiritual heart of yoga, weaving together practical applications of the Yoga Sutras, lineage-rooted dharma talks, mantra and devotional work, intensive meditation, conscious breathwork, sound healing with subtle body exploration, ethical entrepreneurship in wellness, and gatherings that foster genuine community. The emphasis is presence over performance, with a shared commitment to connection and collective growth. Across the weekend, expect more than one hundred offerings that range from advanced master classes to foundational sessions for beginners, along with philosophy lectures, spiritual workshops, quiet spaces for meditation and sound healing, live music, art installations, evening socials, a holistic vendor expo and artisan market, a family-friendly atmosphere with open access to the waterpark, and optional camping on the bunny slope for a fully immersive experience. Teachers are traveling from across the country, bringing deep training and years of lived practice, and the schedule supports both newcomers and long-time practitioners with thoughtfully crafted classes that respect the tradition. The flow of the weekend is intentionally paced. Friday evening has no scheduled programming due to a concurrent concert. Saturday is the most robust day with master classes, lectures, and immersive workshops, plus a comedy hour before an optional community dinner. Sunday offers a softer close with smaller sessions, deeper reflection, and a closing-circle feel. Vegan or vegetarian boxed lunches from Nearme Café can be pre-ordered at checkout to keep breaks simple, and official festival shirts will be available. Camping is offered, and early arrivals each morning are rewarded, as the first fifty guests receive a swag bag. Presented by Nearme Yoga LLC.
