Damn! I was afraid of the rollover.

I haven't committed to a full game yet. I'm workin' out my shots still from a 3+ month break from this table.

Another thing.....what are we playing for? Whats the PRIZE? Whats the cut line?

The rollover is in the ROM.

In other tournaments they were playing for the special "eye" pinball for the top 100. I'm assuming since this is the first PS3 tourney that we are playing for that as well.

I think in game prizes might be harder on ps3 ... I can't imagine them going through the trouble sending us download codes.

You're doin' something right as far as I know.

Is this off of the video pinball or the straight extra ball reward?

Either way good job.

I'm just askin' because this is the table I'm workin' on now.

the video pinball mode
I bombed on all three of them but still, feels weird

Nothing is weird here, Man. On the Ripley table, I once had a special lit up on both outlanes, one at the vari-target and two extra balls lit up at the vari-target. I lost the ball SDTM. Luckily I still had an extra ball to play with to collect all that goodness.

One of the weirdest things I've encountered on ToM is a midnight stacked on a midnight from consecutive basement shots.
I dunno how I did that.

when I got digital pinball when playing TOM on Tournament it was for 40M not an EB....

Too bad that the games don't count for the wizard goals. For the first time I have reached Atlantis on RBION (my personal nemesis, I never got anything going on this table up to now) and even Battle for the Kingdom (was too excited though and lost the balls quickly).

I never encountered slowdowns during ToM multiball (3 or 4 balls). I play in 720p, because of lag in 1080i/p. Maybe there is some slowdown in this screen resolution? (I would not be surprised)

 

[schiapcom69]

the slowdown is very little little ,maybe 1 sec only in multyball on ToM,i have also put 720 p,i have hd ready tv,thanks for info
The tournement is terrific ! big fantastic score and super players

 

[smbhax]

Psh, for all my worrying that I'd only have time to play six of the eight tables once or twice each, I've currently wound up in 40th place. Come on, slackers! : D

I still don't know what we are playing for and if any other rank besides first matters... all it says is the person in first is the winner..

The FS facebook thing says it's to generate rankings. I assume for future tournament type seedings maybe or something? I think FS would have mentioned if there was anything else at stake, but your guess is as good as mine.

 

[ScotchYeti]

Does anyone know how the points are provided? 100,90, 85 for the top three is obvious but for the other ranks the difference seems to depend on the number of total players?! It used to be 0.03 at the beginning of the week, now it's something between 0.02 and 0.03.

For fun. We're playing for fun. You should only play pinball if you think its fun.

I once explained this to a frisbee golfer. I'm a tournament director and an official for the PDGA (Professional Disc Golf Association) and one time I gave a warning to a pro player for kicking his bag. I also told him that this game should be fun and that if he wasn't having fun he should probably do something else. That was his last tournament. He started hiking/camping/rock climbing every weekend. The next year he was at a tournament (watching, not playing) and came up to me and thanked me. Said it had been the most enjoyable year of his life.

I believe that it is always 100, 90 and 85 for the top three and the rest depends on how many people have entered a score for a table. So, the lowest score on a table is 1 (I think) and fourth place is close to 85. The more people entered on a table, the closer together the increments are.
