@Naildriver-thanks, your check is in the mail...
@Crooker-your last couple of sentences describe most of us here. Welcome to the forum!

Yeah fair enough point, I just don't want to jump to any conclusions about cheating. I'll agree that there are a lot of names I don't recognize this time around.
Btw nice Firepower score with that 2,753,250!
The two top scores on firepower are a little annoying considering they're most likely bonus count glitches.

Thanks. But it only took 40 2-minute games to hit that 19:50 game lol. Personally I would have rather it happened in regular play that tournament for the HOF points.

It happens and it's only a game

Trust me, I ultimately don't let it get in the way of anything here. Maybe because we can vent it out here instead?

I think that's because this tournament is for mobile only and we see only people that play on mobile, while on general leaderboard you can see everybody. 99% of them are not from mobile.

Ah, gotcha.

 

[pinballchris]

Well I appreciate the thought but not quite You're putting up some great scores as well.

You have definitely shown you are the best in tournament play. Maybe we need to lift the 20 minute restriction for once ? Because you can definitely score quick on tables.

I must be one of those players who's not on the leader boards Sorry, not into an 8+ hour TZ game. Two lost in the zones is enough, then I get bored... the 20 minutes tournament is more my style. Anyway, I worked my way up to gold and am currently 19th all-time, so I barely know what I'm doing...

Don't have a lot of time to put into this tournament, which is disappointing, I actually like the table selection, except Dr. Dude. At least Harley Davidson went away with the mystery rider.. Didn't even see the tournament starting until yesterday.

Thanks Buzz. Good to know I'm not the only old guy around. Lol. Think I may have topped out in this tourney though. Just hoping to hang on for a top 10. Dylan after this over you'll have to give a few tips on BK2K. That table is killing me just killing me.

 

[pinballchris]

Anyone else getting Auto Tilts on CBW in the tourney? I won't even be touching the screen on iOS and it Tilts?

I played 3-4 games earlier and it was good

 

[Paul Petrissans]

I've had few problems on this tourney so far. Only one that comes to mind is screen getting stuck after jackpot on Dr. Dude and losing my balls. This is not unlike playing in a real pinball tournament where there are vagaries and on the fly adjustments, lol. Anyhow, I'm thinking that my favorite tables are a lot of people's favorites because I put up scores I feel good about on MB and FP, only to see that I'm low on the leaderboards! Then on tables I never play, like Elvira and Cue Ball, I'm pretty high... I guess other folks don't play them much either!

 

[pinballchris]

Hmm, this is the third time for me, second time around the wagon wheel at some point will cause it, no real rhyme except the 2nd wheel and hitting the ramp. Then it dies for that ball.

Edit: Happened three times in one game in my final game of the night last evening.

 

[JefferyD]

Dang. Just saw this. No way I'll have time to play before deadline. Kind of a relief, because I don't own Elvira and I don't really have the desire to plunk down the 5 bucks. I'm in a cheapskate mood because I still haven't had the time to become familiar with the last three or four table releases.

Monster Bash, Bigshot and Firepower are probably my favorite tables, tho. Maybe I'll have a weak moment after work tonight and a fit of pinball inspired insomnia.

 

[kinggo]

I just improved my Elvira score a bit But man, I wish this game was not a timed tournament one I was still on ball one

Don't feel bad, just spent 10 minutes on the first ball on Dr. Dude, over 20M...then the next 2+extra ball went pretty much SDTM.

 

[kinggo]

well, Dr. Dude is more or less one ball game anyway. It is like that IRL also. That's why people never liked it in the arcade where I played one.

 

[Bowflex]

I've actually gotten a couple games that bugged up when I was posting some awesome scores. I was up to about 14.5 million on Elvira atPM when in the midst of my multiball game, all the scoring stopped completely and when i shot both of my free balls (haha) into the lock (one was already stuck in the barbecue bonus), all balls stopped moving, nudging would not produce a tilt and the timer even stopped so I couldn't wait it out to post a better score. Also had the event camera bug happen on Dr. Dude when I was in a 10 million game and about to hit a jackpot. I thought that bug was completely fixed but I guess not. Wish I had not had my event camera option on.

 

[kinggo]

yeah....... I also lost both balls after scoring a jackpot. I had some 8M, balls went out of the mixer but camera stayed on the mixer

 

[pinballchris]

Tourney is over, nice job again Dylan. Man, how do you do it?

Nice however that I emailed farsight twice about the firepower scores and nothing was done. Only one spot difference though.

 

[jaredmorgs]

Worst tourny ever?

No, the wurst tourney ever was the one with Goin' Nuts and Harley Davidson...

I hope they pick the tables to include in the tournament using a bingo hall number ball cage.

 

[Dylan_h]

Thanks Chris I thought you had me a couple of times!
I also emailed support and they responded back tonight saying they were aware of it but I totally forgot to check if they removed the scores.
Btw who is this efbelo guy? He kind of came out of nowhere and I've never seen the name around here.

 

[kinggo]

last time I checked, firepower bogus scores were still there I didn't check yet if I made it to gold class.

Having lca and cbw were maddening but the rest of the tables were a joy to play. At least Harley is a better game than either of those even if the sound is terrible and lots of aspects are too repetitive. The Harley Nuts tourney was filled with other games that just didn't translate into tournament play as well but the other six were better than the six in this tourney. I honestly really only played six tables this time where I did go back and play all 8 on the previous one.
