All of my games timed out and this should be the same for all other players. We have 20 minutes to reach some specific wizard modes one or more times. I believe all players have the knowledge what targets will score the most points in any situation. So it's the important thing to hit all possible shots in 20 minutes for the maximum possible score. Like any other player I've missed sometime, or played a super first ball and the second was bad. This human skill factor is the only one we can optimize with a lot of new game attempts.The other main limitation cannot be influenced, it's the time the tables program need to reach specific wizard modes. For example the Grand Final in ToM. I'm sure no one will ever reach this well scored Mode more than two times max. in one 20 minute tournament game, it's not possible. Centaur is another good example. I guess the max. possible score for a 20 minutes game is +/- 1M per minute with one full time multiball include all balls.PZone with his ROM bug is a completely different example. I would say 3B is not a very big problem, need only 15 times more the 100M shot to double my score. Is this skill?I'm not the biggest fan of time based games. For this reason I don't like Safecracker. A real interesting tournament would be a one ball only tournament without a time limit.I've held the #1 over years in the Pro Pinball Head to Head Online Mode. This was time based, skill based (and lag based <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />). Much harder than any normal Big Race USA game. I remember that vikingerik has said after a few games "No, this is not my game". I understand this statement. It´s not pinball. Fun for sure...</blockquote>
