Well Geoff (workingpins) has been an operator and player for probably 30 years. I have known Geoff for 3 years now and I have seen him play my old Getaway and he definitely scores in the billions. I think that once the score goes into the tens of billions that the 11th digit does not show up which is what he was trying to say. Anyways, if you can get an extra ball on every ball and you are an expert on that machine(which he is) then it is not inconceivable. Really big difference between home game scores and tournament scores and it sounds like vengeance plays in alot of tournaments so obviously those scores will be much lower.
I know that I have had games on my whitewater where I collect all the boulder awards every ball for about 6 in a row and keep getting another extra ball. If you did that for hours you would have one massive score. I just don't have the endurance or attention span to mentally stay focused, others like Geoff do.
Anyways I did not see the score but I guarantee that Geoff is not a liar and would never make up a score, he is definitely too honest for that, you should see how low his replay scores are on his route machines

hey it doesn't hurt the guy not to believe him, then again he might be nice enough to make it to a meeting could have some fun and be nice to see him do it again. also maaca would be good to send a team to some tournaments create a list of interested then make the teams we will provide with t-shirts (depending on whats left).

Wonder if they would have one at the starbust tournament. That would be cool to see.
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
Just to add to this post, I call further Bull Sh!t.
I saw a real player, Lyman Sheets, put up a 1,469,091,850 score on the Getaway in the A division at PAPA this year. Now while the score did roll over at the billion mark, the high score board still had the Billion number attached to it.
You said:
Had you actually gotten a score that was over a billion, then you would know that the High Score table keeps the Billion number but the actual score does not.
What's a "real" player? Do you mean "real good" player? Last time I checked, I'm a player, and am real, or so I'm told.

My upper flipper doesnt loop the ball all the way around the lift ramp, so thats perhaps my issue. Maybe a resleeve might help pull in some bigger loop numbers.
