New Tournament on iOS & Android starting 5/9/2014 to 5/16/2014

[Eaton Beaver]

New tournament starting today on iOS & Android! Tables include: Whirlwind, High Speed, Junk Yard, Goin' Nuts, Harley-Davidson, Attack from Mars, Star Trek The Next Generation and Centaur! I am in the Silver tournament this month and am hoping to advance to Gold for next month. Good luck all enjoy the tournament!

I do not understand starting a tourney the same day you release a table? Let us play around with the new pin for a bit (not that this one is too difficult, but still).

 

[inspector42]

I've sat out the last couple due to rampant obvious cheating by a couple players on gold level. Have they fixed that now?

 

[pinballchris]

Don't think so. But they have been like every other tournament, at the end a few really jump up so I have a hard time telling who is cheating anyways.

 

[inspector42]

Ugh.

 

[Bowflex]

This tournament is absolutely stupid. I probably will just stop participating in it since somehow it put m in the bronze tourney despite finishing right around #100 in the previous tournament at the silver level. I think I am done with the tournaments. I never could get enough time to put in a sincere effort to advance to the gold dvision and its ridiculous that some error put me in the wrong tournament.

So it looks like the Centaur rollover bug is still happening. I put up 13 million and it only registered the 3. Funny thing is toolinit has managed to get 12 million somehow. Not sure if that's cheating or a bug that sometimes registers the rollover.

I think toolinit is a member here and has climbed the HOF leaderboards pretty quickly, don't think he is a hacker, but maybe his score got crossed somehow.

Yeah I was thinking the same. In fact I haven't really seen any cheating in the last couple of tournaments.

There was the bug a few tournaments ago that let some people post over 10,000,000, but not most. Might have to do with purposely tilting? I honestly don't remember.

I thought that the rollover wasn't really a bug but that it is in the ROM. But maybe I'm wrong.

HD again?????????? So, forcing it in tournaments is the only way to make people play that POS.

Almost don't want to be bothered if HD is in this again. Was just about to get my PS3 controller, but I think I'll just stay seated.

I'll reevaluate tomorrow when I'm sitting right near it in my office.

Starting this tournament a little late. Can't believe Harley Davidson is in again. Uggg. 20 minute grind with 'there he goes again'... Aren't there enough tables to not duplicate pins in back to back tournaments?

I'm gold level, and the scores seemed reasonable last tournament, so far for this tournament seem reasonable.
I think FarSight had addressed most of the cheating and users who were a few tournaments ago.

As of 10:30 am EST, top gold scores:
AFM: 49,146,570
STTNG: 13,442,123,210
Centaur: 12,243,930 (There are 4 scores over 10K)
Goin' Nuts: 5,713,350
JY: 123,390,080
High Speed: 15,531,830
WW: 72,380,010
Harley: 718,307,430

105 people entered, I'm currently 35th.


I'm glad Junk Yard and High Speed included. I'm fairly weak on STTNG and Centaur, so I'll be getting some play on them.

Good luck everyone and may your shots be true!

I do have a question. I was never able to register. Would I still be able to participate? Just never got that verification email

Should be as easy as logging in to your account(or creating an account), and then selecting the tournament button and joining.

does anybody else have an issue with starting the games? Sometimes after pressing start camera moves to plunger a bit and then stops and nothing happens. Only way to get out is pressing back button to pause a game and hit quit then restart.

Yeah - I played with High Speed (tourney) on Saturday for a while before realising I don't have time to do it properly and giving up. But yes, had the exact same behaviour using Android. You could have one attempt, then had to back out, and go back in. Otherwise it was just dead to input.

 

[Captain B. Zarre]

Currently 29th in the tournament, focused on achieving high scores on Junk Yard & Whirlwind.

Just had a score on Centaur just above 10M. It registered correctly. Playing on IOS.
