Tournament!!!

[ER777]

I ended up at #31 - a lot better than I expected!

 

[Tann]

I did fairly well considering I dont have the CV, FH pack. if I add 80 points to m final total (I scored over 80 points on each table) I end up with a top 70 score.
congrats to all.

Same here. I don't have the Scared Tiff/Big Shot pack. I finished on rank #379 with 590 points. But no regrets, I would only reach around the top 20 (Big Shot being an unforgiven table).

The "funniest" thing in this tournament is as you play with no stress (your only goal is to make the best possible score, not to beat your current highscore), you actually beat your local highscore!

It happens for me on ToTAN (rank #7), on Funhouse (Rank #8, but it's more an endurance contest, than skill), on MM (rank #16), and ToM (rank #35).

And back to "normal" game, crappy scores are back too!

Same thing for some wizards goals achieved in tournament mode without wanting it. Back to local game, I can't succeed to do it again (goddamned Crazy Frog!)!

-----------------------
Congrats to the winner Jpelter and the Top Ten players.

PS: yes, too bad we can't check the final tournament leaderboards for each table...

Thanks man. I definitely noticed the same thing in that I improved every single one of my scores during it, except for black hole.

For me it's different, my 3 weeks with Big Shot and the intensity of the tournament starts bearing fruits in the normal games. Reaching Atlantis was no big deal anymore (the first time I even drained after having collected the 7 letters, only the activation shot was missing, darn), the same on the "oh-so-easy" Twilight Zone table that owned me the whole time.

I took note of my own scores on each table and posted them here. The top 3-5 scores were simply outrageous.

 

[Heretic]

Lol i can vouch for the top two, they play like hell

 

[schiapcom69]

WoW Great Score ScothYeti ! compliments
my Record on ToM was 4,400,but during the tournament i scored only 2,300.
My best results on Tournament was on Funhouse 60 mil.

Same here. I took note of my scores a few hours before the tournament ends (due to my country timezone GMT+2), and put they on my TPA forum profile, as a "souvenir".

 

[Firefox2000]

Yeah, its a shame we cant see the final score as i was first, yes i was first, i know hard to believe but there you are.

Ok when i say first i obviously mean 300 odds. lol

 

[Hoorhouse]

I came around 750ish or something, without having 2 of the tables. So that's ok I suppose. Hopefully the tournaments are frequent. Does anyone know what the prize was?

 

[Firefox2000]

^^I think it was just for the fun.

 

[brakel]

After the tournament was over when I checked how I did I was 355th. Today I clicked on the tournament and I'm in 390th place. I wish FS would explain how this stuff works. It wasn't like I checked the minute the tournament ended and scores were still being posted. I was 355th a full day after the tournament ended. It doesn't matter for anything other than just wanting to know how it works and how this could happen for future reference.

From Facebook:

The top 200 finishers in both tournaments will receive the Twilight Zone and Star Trek: The Next Generation custom balls. The top 100 finishers will receive these balls plus the Eyeball.

Mobile winners will be sent an email early next week and will be given these custom balls automatically. Mobile winners simply need to log out and then back into their FarSight accounts to access them.

Custom Balls can be used on any table. To change your pinball to be a Custom Ball, select Extras from within the Options of any Table Menu.

We are working with Sony to determine the best way to get the PlayStation winners their customs balls. We will update you once we know.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

wish they said what was at stake before the tournament. I would have tried somewhat... I want that eyeball pinball for bride of pinbot.

Yep. Moreover, if you have all tables of the tournament (not my case, I miss just one ), to be ranked in Top 200 and 100, was not very difficult.

But the funniest thing is that the 100th player have the same prize than the tournament winner!

Whatever, it's a nice move from Farsight (but for PS3 owners, you have to be patient, because get free stuff from Sony is not easy... I still wait for my Hustle Kings free DLC, granted by Voofoo in 2009 because I was a day-one purchaser... )

I finished 53rd out of 4646 PSN players. I only played twice for a few hours, probably could have finished higher if I had more time! Waiting for my Rewards, and STNNG $100 backer code!

 

[brakel]

to be ranked in Top 200 and 100, was not very difficult.

For you, perhaps that's true. I would say that getting into the top 5% was pretty difficult. As it was I was in the top 10% and I'll be satisfied with that.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

That is funny but no mention of anybody out of top 10 on FB

 

[Tann]

I speak for this tournament, which was "friendly"! ^^

I can't check now we don't have access to leaderboards anymore, but I guess that a player can reach Top 200 with a score around 600-650 points. If you have all eights tournament tables, it requires around 75-80 points on each table.
But be ranked in Top #50 was more difficult, I'm agree.

Whatever, I bet that the next PSN tournament will have a lot higher level... Why? Because now, all players know there is something cool to win.

 

[Firefox2000]

^^You had to reach a score of 629 to get into that 200 crowd, i missed it with 29 points and came in 331. lol

Although i would have tried a bit harder and played a bit more if i had known that eye ball custom ball was up for grabs, wish they would put that up on the store to buy, would look great on bride of pinbot when you have both eyes filled. lol

Thanks for the info.

629 points with all eight tables and then Top 200, was reachable... because a lot of players don't dig into this tournament (or didn't have all tables).
