[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 297340, member: 152"] Well, another league season in the can. Numerically, this did not turn out so well: 14th of 22. However, I'm actually more satisfied with my play than I was in my first two seasons. How can this be? There are 7 groups in our league. Win your group one week and you move up a group, lose and you drop a group. The last two seasons I was all over the board - sometimes in the bottom group even. This season I never dropped below the 4th group - that is to say, I've always been playing at least the "average" group, and often a higher one. So I've been doing slightly worse points-wise, but I've been doing it against stronger competition than before...and more consistently, despite that horribly embarrassing zero a few weeks ago. My shot accuracy is somewhat improved - as long as I'm calm, which is not often! - and my nudging is somewhat less heavy-handed than before the season. Personal league high scores from this season, for those who are interested: [I][B]Third Rail - Summer 2013 League[/B][/I] [TABLE="class: grid, width: 480"] [TR] [TD][B]Table [/B][/TD] [TD="align: right"][B]High Score [/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]AC/DC Let There Be Rock LE [I](v1.65)[/I][/TD] [TD="align: right"]54,937,960*[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Avengers Hulk LE[/TD] [TD="align: right"]11,280,860[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Playboy (Bally)[/TD] [TD="align: right"]89,120[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Evel Knievel[/TD] [TD="align: right"]73,800[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Iron Man [I](5 balls)[/I][/TD] [TD="align: right"]20,483,030[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Mystic[/TD] [TD="align: right"]144,690[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Ripley's Believe It or Not![/TD] [TD="align: right"]3,952,570*[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Silver Slugger[/TD] [TD="align: right"]4,070,330[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Simpsons Pinball Party, The[/TD] [TD="align: right"]27,279,540[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Tommy[/TD] [TD="align: right"]305,087,460[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Tron Legacy LE[/TD] [TD="align: right"]22,652,990[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Wheel of Fortune[/TD] [TD="align: right"]15,685,930[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]X-Men Wolverine LE[/TD] [TD="align: right"]15,529,850[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] * These two machines are particularly evil compared to others I've played.
