Isn't it "strange" that scores can still be uploaded AFTER the tournament. It was on -1 hour something and 'somebody' still managed to upload scores??
Who? At which time? I saw at some point something weird with the timer, it said something like 0-1 days, but at that time the tournament was still running.
By the way: Wonder why Tarek has 1000 points, not 900. Not like it would matter anyway.
The last time I looked at their point system, it was linear except for places #1 and #2. So going from 123 to 100 should have been worth 23 times what going from 8 to 7 was worth. I might be wrong, so someone please correct me if that's the case. I always go for the tables I rank lowest on first, unless I think I can get first or second (which strongly depends on whether Tarek and/or Dizzer2012 are playing).Reason for that was I figured going from 123 to say 100 on El Dorado was only going to earn me fractions of a point, while if I could move from 8th to 7th on Creature I'd earn a solid point or two.
118th place: TX Sector (I should really have read up on this one as I don't even know what gets the trans-whatever multiplier going)
I think you should've worked on AFM first. You got 6.7B, I'm guessing you could've gotten about 11B with a little strategy. Did you use the Super Skill Shots to complete the ramps, saving lots of time? Can you nail the left orbit (& right orbit) in TA?
My question on TX-Sector is when/if is a good time to start multiball, and what to do during it.I looked up on how this works, and it's quite simple. You hit the drop target of the left ramp, then the multiplier countdown starts. If you hit the transporter, it will mulitply 10.000 x (energy level +1) x multiplier. It's the best way to score, if you can hit the right ramp reliably. Which I can't.
17th place: ToM - I think I had one great ball with a good multiplier behind a great bonus
22nd place: Gorgar - Quite happy with the 1-2-3-4 target strategy
23th place: Harley Davidson - All I needed was a few good Multiballs
34th place: ToTAN - I tried the multiball / 3 x lightning lamp and it worked quite well. If I had started earlier into this tournament, my score would have been even better.
81st place: Dr. Dude - Learned a lot about this table and was quite satisfied with my result.
106th place: CftBL - Well, I am just not good in playing the MB. I could get it within 1 min., but couldn't really make use of it
Near-perfect play seems to have been necessary to get top 10 scores, which at my skill level means endless restarts.
I would certainly like to see this method at least tried. I can't say yet if I'd pick it to be a permanent replacement.I still think the best idea is you best score is whatever the last score you posted. Not that that wouldn't be even more stressful or anything!
My question on TX-Sector is when/if is a good time to start multiball, and what to do during it.
So here's my question to the peanut gallery...to raise my overall standings to say 40th place, which tables should I have been putting my efforts toward the end?
My thinking was to go after the tables that I at least knew what to do on, and had placed well with. Reason for that was I figured going from 123 to say 100 on El Dorado was only going to earn me fractions of a point, while if I could move from 8th to 7th on Creature I'd earn a solid point or two.
Scores will be ranked and assigned 100 points for 1st, 90 points for 2nd, 85 points for 3rd, 84 points for 4th and so on.
From http://www.mlpinball.com/ That doesn't explain why someone would have 735.152 points though.
It's 100 points for 1st, 90 for 2nd, 85 for 3rd, 85-x for 4th, 85-2x for 5th, ..., 85-Nx for last, where N is the number of players, and x is the amount of points dropped per rank, and Nx = 85, or maybe Nx = 84. Something very close to that, anyway .I guess I was thinking it was a score curve, where at the top you got complete points, and anything past 85th started getting fractions of a point. Is it instead an equal split for everybody that isn't top 3?
