[QUOTE="JPelter, post: 72480, member: 623"] I don't wholly disagree, but I do have to point out that the majority of the time spent at least for me was before the tournament, learning the tables and the shots. Most tables don't have a major luck component to them at all. Big Shot is personally for me the only table I can say I spent a lot of time on during the tournament (more than a few hours), and it is in fact somewhat more luck based than the other ones were in the PS3 tournament. Even in the case of Big Shot you can essentially make your own luck. It's just that reading the table becomes a lot more complex when you don't have clear feeds off shots you know how to respond to as with most tables. That said, you're absolutely correct that people with more time have an advantage. If people want to limit the number of tries and farsight agrees, I'm totally ok with that. Personally I think just removing extra balls in tournaments from all tables, and possibly adjusting things otherwise to harder tournament settings will reduce the time element somewhat simply due to high scoring games not lasting nearly as long. I also have to note that when I said more than a few hours means mainly that actually getting to the high score range takes upwards of an hour of playing on practically all tables. If the tables had extra balls removed the time required would be cut pretty drastically on almost all of them [/QUOTE]
