[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 70160, member: 152"] I agree with the no extra balls, but not with the idea of one shot only. It essentially replaces skill with luck at that point - pinball is an extremely volatile game in terms of scoring; even world-class players can have abysmal games on occasion. I'd still like to see something like the PAPA qualifying format, where each "attempt" is a round of eight games, one on each tournament table. You can have as many attempts as you like. However, after each attempt, you must either accept [I]all[/I] of the scores from that attempt (replacing all previous results regardless of whether each individual table score is better or worse than on any previous attempts), or you must discard [I]all[/I] of them. This would reward consistently good play, rather than letting people grind out Table A until they have a good game, then repeat with Table B, etc. [/QUOTE]
