[QUOTE="MisterVercetti, post: 231453, member: 5443"] Inspired by the IFPA tournament format, I'd love to see a "Pinball Golf" mode added, either as a new tournament format or as a single-player mode. For those few of you who don't know, here's how Pinball Golf works: You have a bank of nine tables, or "holes", set to 5-ball play, with each table having a "target score". The goal is to reach the target score on each table in as few balls, or "strokes", as possible. Achieving the target score on ball 5 is considered "Par"; each ball before that is -1 stroke. If the target score is not achieved in 5 balls, the ending score is used to determine the number of additional strokes earned. Typically, for every 20% of the target score, one additional stroke is added (so, for instance, say the target score for Big Shot was 50,000 points. An ending score of 40,000 - 49,999 would result in a hole score of +1, 30,000 - 39,999 would be +2, 20,000 - 29,999 would be +3, so on and so forth). After all nine tables, your scores are summed up to obtain the total score for the course. If nothing else, it's a fun tournament format that's a nice breath of fresh air from the standard "high score" format. [/QUOTE]
