[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 55015, member: 152"] The 360 version has its own leaderboards due to Microsoft's XBLA policies. I play for entertainment value only on the iPad due to the inferior nudging, so I rarely look at the leaderboards unless I have a particular reason to do so, like when I was asked about TZ score distribution during the argument over TZ's difficulty, or lack thereof. As far as competition itself goes, I have no illusions that I'm the best or even one of the best at this game. I don't really have enough free time for that, and a lot of what free time I do have goes into playing physical pinball. I see myself more of a gatekeeper to what would correspond to TPA's "A Division", and in fact in the recent tournament I did better than 92% of the field despite deliberately only playing each table a maximum of 3 times. (I wanted to see how well I could do without grinding through each table until I got a miracle game.) So I guess what I'm saying is that players who can best my high scores have established that they have legitimate business challenging people like you and Mark. My strategy guides, therefore, are intended to help intermediate players become advanced, through pointing out scoring opportunities, risk/reward analyses, and other relevant information that they may not have noticed. (My guides also can, with a few exceptions noted, be profitably employed on the physical tables.) They aren't really intended for players at my level or higher, because I figure people who were at that level before I wrote my guide have their own strategies and in any case aren't in need of my advice. Maybe you and Mark and some of the other top-flight players should do some "Advanced Tactics and Strategies" threads for the rest of us! :p [/QUOTE]
