[invitro]

Two great bits of news for this month's tournament:

1) Look at those tables!! All great ones. CC is the only repeat; here are the best scores on it from June/July:
----- 1. 424,945,380 - vikingerik - Bronze
----- 2. 372,667,470 - Dizzer2012 - Bronze
----- 3. 353,579,790 - invitro - Bronze

2) The web page now has previous tournaments! Check it out at http://www.pinballarcade.com/Tournaments/ or read LAW's post about it: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...ssues-Requests?p=227942&viewfull=1#post227942

That's one heck of a stacked tourney.

AFM - Total Annihilation?
BRose - Sinking ships all the way
CC - Bonus
CPub - Cash fights?
CV - Join the Cirqus, is it doable in 20 minutes? Can't say I've ever timed it.
MM - This will be interesting, but keeping Castle Multiball going as much as possible seems optimum, I don't see how BFTK is possible in 20 mins.
NF - Meet Your Maker. Aim to complete modes you can finish as quickly as possible (Downhill, Skydive, Nascar).
T2 - Spam orbits?

For No Fear, one way to shortcut modes is just to drain out of them. I did that on Ripley's sometimes in one tournament.

Any clue what table is on PS4 in replace of no fear?

I just checked the newsletter... it's Dr. Dude.

Wow, this should be a fun one! My first time playing in gold.....intimidating! I love how they have past tournies now, I thought it was weird you lost the ability to see score details once it was over....

May I ask what your TPA username is? I can't tell from last month's Silver standings. And good luck in the tourney!

Me too.

I was top ten in Bronze, then top ten in Silver.....

I think I'm in for a very big "reality check" in Gold...

good point! I guess I should have used the same name on here....

I play under Amist

 

[invitro]

I play under Amist

thanks!

 

[JustinCamp]

thanks!

I see looking back at the last tournament that you have nothing to fear from me haha.....

Danton what name are you under? I don't see you in top 10 silver last tourney?

 

[JustinCamp]

Also, what happens if you completely miss a tournament? Do you move down?

 

[invitro]

JC, you don't move down if you miss a tourney. That's what other folks have said, I don't have a source but it makes sense .

Because of your comment I timed CV join the circus. I started the mode at 12 minutes and finished it by 14. Never played the table this well haha, I should have waited for the tourney. At 130 mil after 20 min....I have never joined the circus prior just started the wizard mode, that multiball was a joke though, no ball save at all???

 

[invitro]

I timed CV join the circus. I started the mode at 12 minutes and finished it by 14.

You're not hustling us are you...?

Ummm Danton. If you look at newsletter 45 it's there under mobile...(came 6th).

no just a freak game, but it is possible! Terrible hustle if I am, I forgot to make bets!

Anyone know what time the tourney starts?

 

[invitro]

Anyone know what time the tourney starts?

There has been a lot of variation in the start time, but I'll guess sometime around 6:40 to 8:11pm ET. IIRC, the web page started updating with tourney scores a few days late last month, so you've gotta either go in TPA, or check here, to see if it's started. (I'll post in this thread if I see that it's started and no one else has posted about it here.)

I just got up from a nap, and the webpage shows that the tournament's underway. Eldar has 300 pts so it's been running at least an hour. I'm gonna head to TPA myself in a second. Good luck, pinheads...

By my reckoning I ought to have 790 or 800 points by now, but not for long
