WPPR (World Pinball Player Rankings) is a competitive ranking system administered by the IFPA that tracks and rates pinball players based on their tournament performance. The system measures player skill and competitive achievement across sanctioned tournaments, with rankings calculated from players' best tournament results (historically top 20 events, changed to top 15 as of 2025). WPPR points are awarded through IFPA-sanctioned events and serve as the primary metric for determining annual awards like Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.
