March TotM Groupings and Results

[Locksley]

Bad bad bad
BH - 600,900
CFTBL 305,147,270
NGG - 18,186,860
HS - Free table - 797900

I only played CFTBL and NGG once. I don't think I can play better on CFTBL (thanks Capt.B for his easy to follow article on the table) and NGG I think it is good enough (wow, what competitive spirit I got eh...)

Black Hole; hah, lit the gravity wells and then a quick drain; ridiculous!
Also my problem with microstuttering was mostly noticeable on this table since the ball travels freely quite far. I gotta fix that somehow :/

As usual, quite a bit of fun and I am so thankful it is only two credits at the most. I am now officially mush and need to rest

EDIT - Also I drained EB on all tables that I got 'em on. That was the rules right, not only BH and NGG?

 

[vikingerik]

Yeah that's what I meant. I don't think he needs to worry about grinding the spinner to win if he can max bonus on every ball

The whole point is I would worry about it anyway even if I don't have to. Plus I don't really feel like playing either BH or CFTBL, they're boring grind-fests for me even without EBs, and I have other stuff to get done today. I'll play NGG in a few hours later tonight.

[MENTION=134]shutyertrap[/MENTION] Is there going to be an update to the groupings list shortly?

So we have just under half our players reporting scores now. I'll start posting updates to the results in a little bit.

Well done! I started off with 7.5mil on first, but somehow managed to finish with 8.5 in total It is very possible to shoot 20M+ on one ball, but there is also the chance of getting nothing. I really do like High Speed a lot more without the extra balls pouring in.

Thanks! My second game was tragic, 1.6 total. Well one good ball in 2 games was ok. Better than none. Yeah I agree, 20mil is possible for sure, I felt I was just getting warmed up. But then the backhand to San Diego freeway started to fail on me too much. But of course I only had to run the red light to start next multiball. Once you get them going it can last.
It still is a massive grind fest though but yeah no extra balls is fun and with tourney it's exciting!

I got in late after having to take care of some family business.

I'ts a meh day for me. Did good (for me) on the two tables that I play the least - NGG & HS. Could & should have done better on CFTBL & BH. But it is what it is

My scores:

Black Hole: 642,320
No Good Gophers 22,366,290
High Speed 3,369,680
Creature from the Black Lagoon 152,063,890

Just finished up the last game. Had a good run today, would of been better if my right flipper on my iPhone device didn't stick on super jackpot time for CFTBL. Damn. Anybody experience a similiar prob? It is what it is. NGG did practice but still not good on the rules, just pounded the ball and followed the game, seemed to work. Hoping to roll over score on HP...didn't get there but still ok with it. Looking for the mil plus score for black hole, didn't get it, but still okay with it.
Thanks for another great 2 and out and will be in the next. Cheers
BH 750.7 thou
HS 7.7 mil
CFTBL 492.1 mil
NGG 62.6 mil

Kind of an experiment for me this month. Decided to ditch ios and try steam after being burnt out on the Farsight monthly tournaments.
I haven't played on a pc with a controller for months so I was completely out of my comfort zone but it was fun anyways and put up some ok scores.
Totally dig the format and the amount of work you're putting into it [MENTION=134]shutyertrap[/MENTION]

Black Hole: 5,982,110

No Good Gophers: 42,468,800

High Speed: 5,906,060

HS: 4,398,370
NGG: 38,893,210
CftBL: 190,579,000 (oh my...)

FWIW... v.e.'s high on BH is 191M. The next highest score of players in the tourney is me with 27M, then you at 24M, then Xanija at 19M. Those are the only players to have ever gotten 15M on BH, with or without EBs. I am pretty sure I didn't max bonus 3 times in my game. (I require EBs to score well.)

Just for accuracy's sake, I had 36M on BH on the PS3. The score got purged at some point but was totally legit.

There's a reason why they call it Hole in One or Two, and it's because of people like me.

2 hours to go, here's who I'm missing scores from...

Get those scores in!

 

[vikingerik]

Played one game of NGG (after a five minute warmup), and I think it was good enough, almost an hour. Thought I ended up in trouble when on ball 3 I unintentionally shot the center ramp a third consecutive time, which makes Bud come up to block it (and locks and multiball) for the rest of the ball. Turns out that a Free Lock from a wheel award clears that out to return Bud and the multiball sequence back to normal. And I cashed in bigtime. Submitted, and I've got a monitor picture for verification.

Also, the form wouldn't take zeroes for the other tables, had to put in 1's.

 

[Naildriver74]

Got mine in.
Kentucky 38-0 great game ND one hell of a battle !!!

 

[Dedpop]

BH : 348.560. I hate the table. The table hates me.
NGG : 12.121.040. (first score was 9.360.630/still don't know what happened here !?!?)
CFTBL : 135.998.430. I'm astonished by the scores some of you have posted on here. You guys impress me.
HS : 5.324.610. Average score for me on that one. Thank you HS. You know I always loved you.
It was fun but I have to say I hated not playing EBs.

 

[Jeff Strong]

Just submitted my scores, though I don't own High Speed. It wouldn't let me put a zero though, so you can change the "1" to a "0", or DNF or whatevs.
