[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 243172, member: 4106"] Several tables where the ROM rolls over at 10B have this issue. You have to very carefully manage the rollover from <10B to >10B otherwise TPA won't register it properly. Usually this happens with a single very large score triggering the rollover, such as a multiplied Super Jackpot in CftBL or (I presume) a bonus in ToM. The key is to micro-manage your score when it hits 9B. The general consensus is that this only happens if your score goes from <9B to >10B with a single large score. Example: you have 8.9B on CftBL, and hit a 1.2B Super Jackpot. Your score rolls the ROM and shows as 100M on the DMD. TPA won't have registered the rollover though and will actually think your score is 100M if you end the game there and then. Farsight are probably aware of this (though typically they've never acknowledged it) but due to the way they interact with the ROM and determine what your score is, it may be more difficult to fix than folks think. I've been burned on CftBL - my highest score shows as 18B, but I know it's really 38B. [/QUOTE]
