You want to talk about a brutal game, look at those audits, best players in the world were playing that game:

Average Ball time - 49 seconds
Average Game time - 2:34

What a BRUTAL game that Iron Man was there......

I plan to set mine up that way   

That's nutty. Set-up too hard, perhaps?

No ball save, no posts in the outlanes and any half shot up the ramp came screaming straight down the middle.

That is brutal. No chance for a bounce out then? SB has their outlane posts set wide open and that was frustrating enough.

that's crazy.. I see one guy still managed to get over 150 mill tho

I think that was the default score, highest score was 54 million.

Every multiball was set at it's hardest as well, you had to spell out the entire Iron Monger, you only got 1 drone target to hit and whiplash took like 10 hits to start.  The mode times were set really low as well.    

Does the tilt audit include warnings, or just ball losses because of a tilt.  If each of those is a lost ball, then that looks like 33% of the balls played tilted out, which seems really high.  Adam, that must have been set up like your STTNG-look at it the wrong way and it'll tilt on you.  

No tilt was pretty liberal, but anytime you get that ball anywhere near the outlanes you gotta give her good to get it out of there, which is why the tilt percentage was so high.  

Setting it up like this sounds like so much fun....NOT. This would drive me nuts,

Depends on your motivation, I want to get better.

I always use my TZ as the perfect example, I've never played a TZ as evil as mine, I should look at the audits for it as I'm sure it would see the beatings that people receive on my TZ.

Now as a result every time I end up playing a TZ in a tournament, it's a piece of cake, case in point:

http://www.papa.org/papa13/live/topA-Twilight_Zone.html

I had other scores in the Top 10 range that I voided because the rest of my entry was mess but it proves my point.  You get used to being beaten to mess every time you step up to a game, every other game you play that isn't your machine plays like taking candy from a baby.  

Just to add on to this, the TZ at PAPA had NO outlane posts either, mine still has the posts in and I find mine harder to play then the one at PAPA.

Yes I undertstand your motivation but my family wouldn't want to play since the ball time would be 5 seconds or less  .  And they wouldn't want to come near me since I would be bashing my machines with a bat .

What's up with your classic pin scores, Adam?  

Quoted from machine.slave

What's up with your classic pin scores, Adam?  

I only tried twice in each division.  Classics aren't my fortay, I know this, if I felt like I stood a better chance I would have tried more.  But because it's only has one skill division it also the busiest, it's crazy really that they only qualify top 8 when the classics get 100+ players in it every year.  

Then factor in time, because so many people are playing you spend 2 hours some times to get through a qualifying entry.  

I feel I stand a better chance in A so I focus my attention there.  

I'm only givin' ya the gears, Adam..    When we move next month, you can come over and fondle my classics any time ya like.  I could use a new top score on my sweet, sweet Star Gazer
