[QUOTE="invitro, post: 136857, member: 446"] Absolutely. I'll note though that I have very often played machines with kickouts nearly as predictable and railroaded as TPA's machines. (This is when I played in the 1990s through about 2002.) I think it is perfectly dandy and fine if some, maybe half, of the TPA tables have predictable or easily-catchable kickouts, since that reflects reality (or at least my reality). In particular, I recall that most/all real FHs I played had a very catchable kickout, many of the TAFs, and even a few TZs. I don't think all the TPA tables should be set up like PAPA tournament machines. But it's a real shame that the supreme challenge of TZ is mostly missing from TPA. Edit: After thinking about it... I think would enjoy having all the TPA tables set up like PAPA machines. Maybe more than the current situation. So I suppose never mind :(. As many many people have said, a separate "wizard" table configuration, with its own leaderboard, is the way to go. (I keep posting on, and am perhaps overly sensitive to this issue, because I am paranoid that farsight will make the tables significantly harder, while -not- resetting the leaderboards. I suppose I should try not to get paranoid until there's reason to be.) [/QUOTE]
