Message: <blockquote data-quote="invitro" data-source="post: 244108" data-attributes="member: 446">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).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?Honestly, I think this was a tough tourney, and this is the best I've ever seen you do in TPA.  Your two top-ten scores, on HD3e & CftBL, are essentially what I got.  I'm guessing that a lot more people made a lot more entries in this one because of the prizes.  Two of the top six players, PinWizrd and gainey666, have apparently never played TPA before, as their usernames aren't in any top 2000 score lists.  If I were [MENTION=2570]LAW[/MENTION] (sorry for yelling at you again / thanks for the previous hacker cleanup), I'd want to look at those two players' scores closely.  There might be quite a few other hackers.What I'm saying is that you did quite well, a #50 place in this tourney might've taken more skill & time than a #10 place in the monthly Steam Gold tourney.I think you have to read the TX-Sector rules to know what scores well, and make a strategy.  I understood most of it, but you really need to know all of it to do well, I think.  I got something decent on it after I did.  It was only #38, my lowest rank by far, so maybe I don't really understand it yet...?  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />El Dorado is the obvious other choice.  You have to hit the lit drops to score on that one, I think even if it takes you a little time to catch a ball and set up a shot, it's worth it... just my guess of course.Congrats on your Top 50 placing and good luck in the drawing!</blockquote>
