You can't hack HOF points. Crusty, you one heck of a player. Great HOF score!

Thank you sir! Like most people here, I really just love the game and am most interested in beating my own scores... BTW, what is HOF?

HOF means Hall of Fame Scores. You can earn a 1000 per table based on score. You are #2 with 21,927. You can find these scores when you check the leaderboards in the TPA app.

Sure would like to see a video of you playing TPA. I'm sure I could learn a lot.

Thanks Frank! My day is complete now that I learned a new acronym. Hopefully my HOF will quell the rumor mongers. Is there a good way to video oneself playing?

I don't know how, but I'm sure someone reading this can tell you.

[pinballchris]

No, Chris, I am not.

I was confused by the accusation. Was sure you were legit.

From the threads I read here, not on iPad.

Rbion leaderboard for tournament won't load for me on android. Anyone else?

Work for me.

 

[Carl Spiby]

Yeah it does now too, just had to play rbion on my nexus 10, suffering the low frame rate issue as per usual though. I don't understand how if its an emulation issue why Harley Davidson doesn't suffer the same fate.

Don't forget ios have 2 other advantages. Enhanced nudge options and controller support.

Throw in the leader board bug, and various table bugs still unfixed 12 months in. Farsight having tourneys is a sad joke.

As an absolute minimum fix the leader board exploit bug.

I'll take Instant Response 2-way shake nudging over touchscreen nudging any day. Once we have upward nudging on droid it's going to be mint, as long as it doesn't introduce delays.

Unfortunately not a very good way unless HDMI out performance on the ipad is much better than the Android options that i've seen. Then you can use a Happauge HDPVR (around 160USD) though the HDMI port. Otherwise, I use a DSLR at 720p 60hz (picture might look better at 1080p but then i'm stuck at 30hz and even if youtube limits video to 30hz, sometimes during editing you want to slow things down and having 1/2 speed at 30fps or even 1/4 speed at 15fps is pretty nice). You will get some moire effect but i find that a wider aperture allows me to move the tablet back or forth a bit to get it just a TINY bit out of focus. (Moire is that that weird morphing grid effect).

Here are my results:

Lord I hate Bride of Pinbot.

That said, 9.8 billion. Bam.

Yeah, knock yourself out with that, Now you have to do that on the usual board

Ha! We shall see. Might not play that table again for a little while.

It takes at least 5 weeks for my thumbs to recover after a game of BOPB

 

[Xanija]

Since the tournament is over now and final results are shown: What do I need to do to get the custom balls?

Wait. If this tournament goes the same as the last one, you'll receive an e-mail sometime in the next two weeks with instructions on how to get your prizes. Said instructions will probably be "Log out and back in to your FarSight account."

 

[inspector42]

Well played everyone. Fun times.

 

[karl]

My heart just wasn't in it this time. I ended in the top 20 the last two tournaments but this time I only played each table 3-4 times and ended just below the top 100 I think.

I believe anyone can get to the top 20 if they just have enough time on their hands.
I really think they should put a max 5 entries pr table cap and register the start of the game if that is even possible. Otherwise you can just quite and start over right before your last ball drains.

 

[Carl Spiby]

I only really spent one evening on it this time.
