[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 148414, member: 134"] Had our second League meeting of the season, and it was a horrible one for me. I'll just get right into it, and I'm not even gonna bother with the scores. Instead, I'm gonna humiliate myself with showing where I placed overall! We were at this buy Bill's house, and since I've posted tourneys from his house twice before, I'm not gonna elaborate on what he had machine wise. Cactus Canyon Continued was there, and I've already started a different thread about that. [B]Buccaneer[/B] 20th of 22 I hate EMs. This table in particular does not like my style of play, and where everyone else in my group was draining down the middle, I was inexplicably having outlane problems. Not a good way to start, took last in my group of 3. [B]Cirqus Voltaire[/B] 4th of 22 As you can see, I was rockin' on this table. Unfortunately, I was in the same group as the guys who took 1st and 3rd overall. That means I took 3rd in my group, and didn't score good tourney points. I only missed out on higher ranking by 4 million points too. I had 2 balls get stuck in the ring master pit, and after they were freed I'd lost my mojo.
