[QUOTE="invitro, post: 213009, member: 446"] I wish that tournaments could make tables hard enough to leave EBs on. Removing EBs takes way too much strategy out of most tables, and I'm getting tired of it ;). Every table should have a (high) per-game limit, though. Points for EBs would be a possibly acceptable substitute, except that the points are always not even remotely enough. The only reason to make tables harder for tournaments is to decrease the game time (in my opinion... I'd like to hear justification for other reasons). Thus the points for an EB should be a good estimate of what an EB is truly worth. I am not good enough at pinball or strategy to have a good recommendation, but 4 billion for an EB on Jack*Bot seems about right. (Obviously an EB is worth different points for different levels of skill, so make it the average of your expected tourney players.) Here's a question for you guys: Is Diner too easy? By how much? How long do you think an average tournament game should last? [/QUOTE]
