[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 270079, member: 134"] So who out there is playing the app Pinball Tournaments that FarSight put out using the Skillz platform? Now that there are some players on it, I'm starting to see how this can be fun and maddening at the same time. The tournaments are very short, so that makes it fun. I'm starting to understand the leaderboard and how advancing up and down it can be rapid based on how often other players play. I kept getting paired with one particular player who was in 3rd place, and because I kept losing, I essentially vaulted him to first! Just wish for more random pairings than repeatedly seeing the same person despite others being on the board. I however cannot figure out the scoring. Some games, I can take all the way to the end of the timer and my score is what it is. Other times it cuts the game off early, with say 20-10 seconds left and suddenly there's ball and time bonus. How are those being earned? One of those times I wound up losing by 5000 points as it cut me off early, while I had 3 ball multiball going no less. It's so random when this happens, but maybe someone from FarSight can explain? Anyway, I encourage more people to hop on. There's no money involved (yet) and the tickets you earn also carry over to other Skillz games, including the eSports app Zen has. [/QUOTE]
