You have to drain with time left to collect the bonus.

Instructions and Extras
Mst of the 700 instruction panels are repeats of earlier instructions. I just fast forward through all the repeat stuff. As for EB's I really get peaved that you work to get that specific EB and you find out you don't get it just irritates me further with the differences between paying tournaments on android and then on Playstation. Should be the same rules every where.
I don't get that EB dislike. Sure, if they are some random reward from XY hole, than yes, switch them off. But if one has to work for it than no, they are there for everybody.
@Extorkwell, I've red the rules more than once but I just don't get it. And how about the rules for TZ? 700+ cards to read........ It's worst than Anna Karenina and War And Peace combinedEach time I get to "next 14 chapters will explain panels........" I lose interest. I can't remember all that.

ok, thanks, I suspected that was the case.
The overall writing style is tedious in places. "hit the 1 target to turn on the 1 lamp. hit the 2 target to turn on the 2 lamp. hit the 3 target to turn on the 3 lamp. hit the 4 target to turn on the 4 lamp. " and so on.

exactly. We neeed some pro manual that would left out all those obvious thing and cards where the same stuff is repeating over and over sometimes so that the important thing get lost. I've been through White Water manual (again) and that "refer to ...... chapter" is the most used phrase there. And yet, I didn't figure out what actaully resets on vacation planner with each ball. Apart from class river. And what about multiball for jackpot? It is so easy to activate multiball and it is supposed to be activated after everything else. Can I still score that jackpot with the 2nd multiball?

Only river class resets if you don't make it to class 6. Vacation jackpot can be scored over and over given you have everything else ticked off before locking the last ball.

Kinggo, sorry for the entire quote on your post, havnt quite learned how to cut and paste them on this tablet yet, I hate the instructions that if you have to complete 6 different things to start the next step, it covers the same phrases on each of the steps which could get rid of about 100 panels of instructions. I also still havea hard time believing some of these scores in 20 minutes. We shall see next week when most of the same tables will be used for the console tournaments.

Been a good tournament so far, but I really think Flight 2K is the worst table on TPA. No ball control, 1000MPH ball speed, bumpers out of this world and inconsistent and no ability to nudge. (at least on iOS). However, the other tables were a joy to play in timed format. Especially MM, my second favorite table on TPA behind Gorgar. Also think the update to Diner midway through helped the table a lot.

Not hard to believe Pinetwig has a good strategy, that is how I play it if I make it to the time limit.

Yep, they all look good to me in the gold level. I actually missed out on a lot of points in MM as I beat the BFTK with 5 seconds left, not enough time to plunge and drain for the bonus.

Could not really get going on TZ I know the table well and was at least trying to get to wizard mode, even Battle The Power was giving me trouble regular and multiball for jackpots.

5x table with multiball jackpots will do that.

Won silver, 3 1st positions, few 2nd spots. Margin was something near 30pt. Waiting for next gold tournament to get beaten badly
Congrats, welcome to gold.
See you next month

Thanks! Yep, like pinballchris said it all comes down to 5x playfield and multiball jackpots. I ignore pretty much everything else on the table.
