[QUOTE="Day, post: 71388, member: 1967"] great thread Carl. rather than thinking of this as a boycott.... i think of it more as abstaining. I 'm not protesting against the tournament but with the current ruleset i'm quite ambivalent. like many others, i simply don't have either the time to or the inclination to "grind out" a decent score. when i first picked up TPA last Nov, i wouldn't have had any clue what grinding out a score meant.... now with improved playing skills, and improvements to my own PB highscores, i'm a bit more thoughtful as to which tables i want to play. playing for over an hour in a single game can be quite draining on concentration, on my eyesight, my thumbs start to get RSI and particularly the left thumb/hand joint begins to weaken & ache after say a serious multiball session on say MB or AFM. sadly this tournament is not for me..... (second time now of non-participation) but as you've constructively suggested, a few minor alterations to the ruleset and it could be a blast... in the same way that the 1 ball challenge is also great fun. Sure, limit the number of plays (and no EBs), use credits, or a score submission that only counts when all tables are played through are all excellent proposals and would have my fullest endorsement as evidenced by tourney participation.... until then, count me out!
