Thanks for the correction and clarification!
I found the the IFPA's tournament rules here:
https://www.ifpapinball.com/rules/
It doesn't say Match function should be disabled, specifically, but Replays, Buy-Ins, and Continues are--and maybe Match is mostly covered in table Tournament Mode...
I could swear they talked about doing that in some of the PAPA videos, I don't remember which tables it was if its indeed table-specific. But I could be remembering this all wrong.
...
Okay I can find nothing on the internet about this so it looks like I was totally wrong! : D Been too long...
The only other thing I recall the game itself mentioning is that Tournament mode removes the random factor from table rewards that are ordinarily random--although as a guess this probably relies on a "Tournament" setting you can set in the operator settings of the actual tables themselves...
Tournament mode leaving the match sequence on seems weird to me, I don't think you see those in actual professional pinball tournaments.
And does it disable extra balls? (Haven't played the current tables enough, as you can see. : P) 'Cause they disable those in tournaments, too. : D
Classic > Tournament settings on PS4 are great. : ) Would love to be able to have it default to having Classic highlighted when I go into a table's menu.
Surprised not to find table lighting options, I guess TPA has me spoiled. ; ) Their default lighting choice is pretty much the right one...
The article *does* say
so, at least, there's that. But man what's with this irony that Sony finally rolls up with the ID change and I may not even be able to use it. I think they need to work a little harder on this feature. ; P
...
Okay given that I can't even log into the article's...
Well, if it really couldn't recognize your PSN ID anymore, you wouldn't be able to post to the leaderboards, and eh I suppose maybe you wouldn't be able to access your old DLC tables. That's all speculation, mind you, but that *would* rather put a crimp on things.
Although the article does say...
Well, Big Shot is probably up near the top of my most-played pins in large part because it took me forever to beat that high score wizard goal. ;_; I've been sort of burnt out on it ever since!
Also, if "most-played" is based on number of plays, it could be higher for a table like Big Shot...
My three faves currently in TPA are Jacks Open, Wild Card, and Fireball, so if they want to do more in that vein--EMs with minimal flashing lights--I'm all for it. ^_^
Ahh they snuck those by me by not mentioning them in a newsletter! Thanks for pointing it out!

The previous entries are all still there--they were tabulated before the EU's data privacy law went into effect this past week, so I consider them fair game. : ) If someone decides they don't want to have their vote in the survey anymore, they can set all their votes to "null," which will...
In a tiny effort to comply with modern privacy laws, there is now a checkbox you have to check at the bottom of the survey's voting form, giving permission to store your vote data, identified by your internet address, on the server.
Thanks! Glad you find it useful. ^)_^
