Congo is the only one with Ball save, by Dr. Who is so evil that even during your multiball there is no ball save!! It's insane, but TZ, RBION, and SPP have no ball save, so if you screw up you skill shot and it drains, kiss your ball goodbye!
We wish you much success tommorrow...
However, when the unthinkable happens: a ball drain.. you need to borrow Lyman Sheats strategy.. Just means the next ball, you immediately do 99 consecutive loops to light the free ball and get your game back on track.
i still can't find the r.g.p article where Sheats wowed the crowd in Papa 4 with 99 delta quadrant loops but this is still worth watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFy9q988P08
I was watching Luman play today in the pratice bank, he was playing Getaway and he was upset with himself that after ball 3 he only had 863 million.
The sheer disgust in himself almost with such a paltry score! lol!
Well as I expected m 1st place didn't hold, I got beat out by a monster of a score and then another player even tho he was in third decided he wanted to be in second beat me out of second. No big deal as long as I stay in top 4 that will be nice and I will atleast get pick of machine for the first round of the playoffs.
The weird thing about first is that last year you were given a cash award for top qualifier, this year there is a shootout between the top qualifier in A,B, and C. So that meant if I stayed in first I would have to go against Lyman to try and win the $1000 Top Qualifer prize. I have no idea why they did that, they are pretty much just handing who ever is top qualifer in A $1000, I mean they might be a small chance in hell that a Top qualifer in B MIGHT beat an A player, but why even involve C??? It just seems kinda pointless, although it would be kind of fun to get demolished by one of the greats. But that won't be happening.
My other TOPL buddies arn't faring as well as I am.
John Flitton is in 14 place in B with me which will atleast get him into the playoffs.
Mike Clnton in is 30th place in C which isn't enough to get into playoffs.
and Maurice Pelletier who was forced in A this year after placing 4th in B last year is 37th, but it's A so really qualifying is going to be a feat and a half, but of all the players in TOPL if anyone was goin to be able to Qualify in A it would be him.
Also another fellow Canadian Sean O'Neil is in 18th place he was n 16 for a while, he might be able to get into the playoffs if he tries again some more tommorow before the end.
Also for those that don't know him Todd McCulloh who was a NBA player for 76ers is also Canadian and is top Qualifer, I played with him last year in C, too bad even with Top qualifer he wasn't able to come out tommorow as he has to broadcast for a 76er game, but this guy is a monster when I get home I'll post some of the pics I took of him.
Anyway it's been a good run thus far and tommorow is the playoffs, hopefully I don't choke and can atleast make it into a cash prize.
Well if you're gonna be forced into the A div next year it might as well be because you friggin WON the B!! Awesome dude!! So... 4000$US ain't what it used to be but do you plan on buying another pin with your prize money??
