I was onto this tourney pretty quick! I check the tournament section whenever checking in to play TPA, which is often ; only since July though, as I had stopped looking at the tourney section for a long time, as it was always showing tournaments I wasn't invited to, so I figured it wasn't something yet ready for access on PS3. (I don't use any other devices for gaming).Surprised at the length of this one, but I'm ok with that. I get a terrific buzz out of competing and it's rapidly advancing my knowledge of the machines features, in a way that I think non-timed tournaments (as I understand they were) wouldn't. Strategy becomes far more important in a 20 min game.I've been largely avoiding T2 and ST:TNG up till now, but this tourney has forced me to persist and I'm starting to feel the love for the Trek table that I know so many have. Especially since I've made some good progress on avoiding those rh drains. There's some very helpful game play advice for specific tables to be found amongst these boards too, which I've found invaluable!T2 is killing me though. Found it immensely gruelling to make a 519m and it was murderous inching that up to 531m and then 548m, which is as far I had got. I just can't get dialled in on that skull shot, especially so during multiball when you need it the most for the 'stoopid' super jackpot. Too often I just get super jack*%'@ lol... the top score put up was +900m so I left that alone for a while to go after the 16b Trek score of 'kategator'. ST was my poorest showing, I hope to change that though.....I have a plan!I feel maxed at 2b on TZ but I'll keep playing it to death as I don't find it at all taxing. Must need a good run of Powerball jackpots I guess, to get that extra 300m+ or whatever? I only found this site a couple days ago, which is the upside result of my console showing TYLOD soon after logging in on Sunday evening. Should have a nicely reconditioned replacement 'fat piano' CHO3 being delivered later today! (I also still enjoy the GT series, and as the PS2's die on me really fast I have given up with them).So..yea...back into the fray later today, I hope!! Last time I looked I was 5th or 6th overall and I'm wondering how far I've dropped? Looks like I'm going to have bop all my way back to Coney Island. Caaaan yooooou dig it!!!Keep on keeping on....;-jJames
