[QUOTE="Gus, post: 213517, member: 4188"] I vote for the random option. Any kind of pinball competition is fun, and variety would be the best way to go imo. I like the current ruleset as well. 20 minutes feels perfect to aim for the best strategy I can come up with, often it's different from a regular game. I don't think it's a grind either, it's just fun. You don't win for playing the most games, it's the top score that counts. I usually get my best scores in 1-4 plays per table, and then there is one or two tables I might play more depending on the competition. Of course I restart in the first couple of minutes if I get a bad start. On some occasions I'm sure I've done 20 (or more damn you Big Shot!) games on a table, but in the end the 20th game can be worse than the first. I understand your point though that unlimited tries can make a player spend way too much time and feel stressed. On the other hand, if there were limited tries and you really wanted to win you would probably play a lot of warm-up games on the tables outside of the tournament. [/QUOTE]
