Pinball Arcade: "This Clock Is Worth Millions!" Tournament Talkback

[Captain B. Zarre]

Even though this tremendous, tense timed tournament hasn't started yet, I'm going to put this thread here for when it does.

You might notice I like giving the tournaments punny titles.

The tournament has now commenced! Come one, come all!

Enjoying it thus far. A few tables I don't like, but being forced to play them has made me better at them. What do the Silver stars signify?

Depending on what division you are in they indicate if you are moving up to silver from bronze or down from gold to silver. Top 10% are moving up and bottom 10% are going down.

So how does this work, you get 20 minutes total playtime on each table then that's it? Or can you retry for another 20 minutes?

you get 20 minutes per game . it resets each new game. (note if you drain your balls quicker then 20 minutes then thats the end of the game its you drain or 20 minutes whatever comes first. )

Played Tournament last night for a couple of hours. Went through all the tables at least once. Kindle Fire 8.9 HD.
I'm Silver level and currently in 8th place as of this writing.

The max time is 20 minutes per table, you can replay a table as much as you want. The table timer resets to 20 minutes with each restart.
I never hit the 20 minute max, so I have a new goal to see which table I can run that long, probably TZ!

My thoughts on the Tourny:
I like the table selection.
I'm surprised to see TZ as one of the tables since TZ had its own kickstarter tournament not too long ago.
I'm also surprised pause stops the timer. I'm sure it could be argued either way, but to me taking a 'break' should continue to run the time.

I'm curious about the silver division, how many are in it and how many are levelling up to gold?

I think I'm done with the tourney for awhile, worst rank at the moment is my 11th place on TZ, how the *bleep* do the top guys get 2B in 20 minutes?

That said, I really like the new format and had a blast so far.

If you're good at the LR-RR-P combo you can probably hit LitZ twice. I'm not great at it and still made it maybe one and a half.

What I can't do however is make much progress at Ripley's. Guess I should have bothered to learn that table huh.

But I usually only get around 300M on a LitZ so even hitting two would not get me close to the top.

Currently #1 on Ripley's, I had two continents tours on that game and didn't get x2 scoring on the first one so there's still room for progress.

[Korven]

Ah, seeing ISuckAtPins with a good score always put a smile on my face.

Played each table a few times today, and so far having fun!
Just broke the highest score on TZ, with only one LITZ though
And 4th place overall for now
