v.e. says: "No real secret here, just get multiball and pound the stop-and-score. I did have to go for the drops and spinner to get a couple EBs, can't go the full 20 minutes on just three balls." in...

Whose fun factor has been hurt by the exploits? The CC 1M bonus was probably well-known to top players already, so revealing that didn't do anything. The Bigfoot, sure... IF you're not having fun because you're not gonna get #1. For me, I don't care... if you're playing, #2 is number one. In...

I feel very bad about my post above, which I've deleted. It was mean-spirited, and incorrect, and I apologize for the negativity. I need to work on being more understanding of different people's views and experiences. I'm fine with having different rules... being on PC, this is the 1st...

Did you read the rules? :)

The Bonus X EB is repeatable? Are you sure about that?

I haven't watched this, and I think I actually own the DVD. A glimpse on youtube showed PAPA footage of the top players... is there any other high-quality movie that does? Just curious...

Wow! What a recap. Ok, I got it now, and I even agree with the system: a score of 1 beats a score of 0. And I suppose it would make buying any missing tables more attractive... if the tournament rules were displayed somewhere so people would know they'd get 40 more points instantly for buying...

It's been so long since I've played it, but I remember the music being great. Who hates it?

Hey Eldar, I don't understand what you mean here. I wanted to wait to figure out the scoring method before posting, but he seems to be treated the same as everyone else. His score calculated with what I just posted above adds up to the same number that is shown in the game.

I've almost gotten this figured out. The points shown on the individual table screens are calculated using the number of players for that particular table. But if I use the number of players in the tourney to get the fraction of points, I sum up to get almost exactly the points shown in the...

Thanks for this, I just did it and got 2X jackpots of 180M, 220M, 260M, and one or two more. I finished a LITZ in the last ten seconds, and ended with 2279M, which is #3 behind JPelter and a hacker. I wouldn't have thought of this strategy.

Almost... it's The Mighty and Majestic Pinball Circus. Coming to a TPA near you!

SYT, I would very much like to know something about the impossible shots: can they be fixed, why are they difficult to fix, why they exist in the first place. Here is a list of them (are there more?): ToM, R orbit, from L flipper trap. AfM, R ramp, from L flipper trap. HRC, R orbit, from L...

Rrrrrrgh, come on Farsight. Thanks for the report!

Sorry! H is not from the backglass... you can probably tell what it's from. The table is a 1990's one. I is from a DMD! The table is a non-produced table. J is from a playfield. The catch with this one is it's from a non-US table! But it's a non-US table with some distinction... L is from a...

Do you mean incredibly obvious to everyone, or to the top 100 players, or some other group? But I'm interesting in finding out if this is true or not. I wish I could do an experiment and ask you and several other players to give the optimal scoring path (in this 20-minute tourney) for CC...

I just mailed the following to support@pinballarcade.com: Subject: please look into the scores of user "Montana_Frank" Hi, I'm enjoying the PC tournament a lot! However, a score of user "Montana_Frank" seems problematic. He has 24 million on Haunted House, which doesn't seem possible...

I might amend this to just ask: Is there any chance of ever getting another EM? :(

I don't understand this claim. There are always certain shots you take to lite/collect EBs in any strategy. These shots and related strategy disappear when EBs are disabled. This is a massive change in strategy for most tables, any table where getting an EB is important and non-trivial. It...

So does disabling extra balls... just sayin'...
