[QUOTE="Zaphod77, post: 212740, member: 2101"] General adjustments first. 1) disable extra balls. Unless it's an em that really needs them on. 2) set slingshots on a hair trigger. This stops many hold traps. 3) open outlane posts to the max. In extreme cases remove them completely. 4) enable tournament mode. 5). Adjust slope and flipper strength to taste. 6). For premiere games you usually want reduced scoring on. 7) disable unneeded ball savers. BSD needs it's ball saver badly. 8) randomize kick outs more 9) randomize rebounds from all stand ups. 10) weaken tilt 11) read papa tournament setup notes and make listed changes. Specific tpa game notes. (Please chime in people) Jack bot. Set extra balls to 250m and specials to 500m. Because it is AWESOME. Twilight zone. Needs nastier slot kick out. Elvira. Tweak ramp rejections to go down the middle most of the time. The Addams family. Disable the power. Because people will just time it out anyway. Bk2k. If you don't spell black your score doesn't count. :) this is the standard rule for machine owners. Earthshaker. Tweak the physics so you cannot loop the ramp and can't nudge stall shoot or nudge pass then post pass. Tee'd off. Remove the rubber stoppers from the habit rails so the balls go screaming towards the flippers [/QUOTE]
