Had our second League meeting of the season, and it was a horrible one for me. I'll just get right into it, and I'm not even gonna bother with the scores. Instead, I'm gonna humiliate myself with showing where I placed overall! We were at this buy Bill's house, and since I've posted tourneys from his house twice before, I'm not gonna elaborate on what he had machine wise. Cactus Canyon Continued was there, and I've already started a different thread about that.

I hate EMs. This table in particular does not like my style of play, and where everyone else in my group was draining down the middle, I was inexplicably having outlane problems. Not a good way to start, took last in my group of 3.

As you can see, I was rockin' on this table. Unfortunately, I was in the same group as the guys who took 1st and 3rd overall. That means I took 3rd in my group, and didn't score good tourney points. I only missed out on higher ranking by 4 million points too. I had 2 balls get stuck in the ring master pit, and after they were freed I'd lost my mojo. I actually managed to defeat all the ring masters too, and only had 3 marvels left before joining the circus. Some days, you just get put into the wrong group!

Talk about getting nothing going on. This game was practically over before I started. So bad, I honestly don't recall what went wrong. 4th in my group of 4.

Here's where I should have had an easy 2nd place finish in my group. Only one other guy was playing good, and I was right on his heels going into ball 3. During ball 2, I had double scoring going, but couldn't hit anything to save my life. At the start of ball 3, I hit the mystery wheel for...zero points?? Adding insult to injury, it kicked the ball out straight down the middle, right over the top of my raised flipper (which normally would have caught it). So I scored next to nothing on that ball, and fell to 3rd in my group.

This table has stomped on my in all previous tourneys. This time, it all went right. Sorta. I got both Showtime multiball and quick, but neither time could hit the jackpots. So while I scored okay, it could have been so much more. I took 1st in my group (for once), but compare it to CV. Same overall placement, but I got 10 points for TAF and only 6 for CV. Still, glad I finally did something on this machine.

Oh my god. Just pure suckage. Right off the bat, we could all tell the table wasn't level after ball 1. I turned on my level app on my phone, and sure enough, it was -2 degrees to the right. Everybody was just like, let's play anyways. So I watched as balls arced instead of traveled in straight lines. Arced right down the middle.

So overall, I dropped from 23rd to 33rd in tourney standings. Ouch. Hope next time is much much better.
