Tournament Scores Can Be Hacked

Congrats Dylan,nice job dude

The thing is, you don't have to put up an obvious fake like 100 mill on Space Shuttle. A "smart" hacker would just put themselves slightly ahead of first place. So all scores are suspect.

Did someone really posted a 100 million score on Space Shuttle after all that has been said? Once I found out of my score had posted wrong, I never logged into the tournament until I read that Dylan and 9u1d0 had placed first and second just a bit ago. Congratulations to you both for your great play.

Hopefully they will have the scoreboards fixed before the next tournament.

Yep, something around 90 millions... I bet I couldn't beat that with the glass off anyway, I love this machine - I really have to find one around here. We have space station here in our club, it would really complement it.

...anyway, I'm still scratching my head how this bug works

Only a small fraction of people that were in the tournament post here.

Got to 174th place, mostly due to over 1.2 billion on WW and 3 million on S8===>.

33th here.

I was 200. Guessing closer to 175 without counting the hacked scores. I can't imagine a 100 million game on space shuttle. It takes at least a minute per million of play time. Lasting for over an hour and a half on that table sounds excrutiating

FWIW - I'm #100.

Should have done better, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to score points on No Good Gofers.

...I really like NGG, but I can't score extremely high either. Only thing that helped me was learning the side ramp shot. And of course Bowen's tutorial: http://pinball.org/videos/tutorials/no-good-gofers/

What sideramp shot? I heard it mentioned in Pinball 101 but I've no idea how it works.

I got bumped down to 112. I was too tired Sunday night from a busy weekend to get any better scores. This was my first tournament.

First time I checked the final results I finished at 110 and now it says 112, just like you.

I finished 5th on Android, pretty happy with that, #1 NGG boosted my score a lot

I was surprised by that score when I saw it. Your game must have been crazy long as my 338 million NGG went on forever!

90 agonising minutes

It was nearing 1:30am when I lost concentration and drained my last few extra balls pretty quickly.

I really tried to get a good game on CC. I was one task away from the wizard mode on one occasion but I was still only on 50mil
