[QUOTE="SpiffyRob, post: 112871, member: 450"] Played in a tournament last night. 25 people, format was triple knockout (head to head matches until you lose three times, last man standing wins.) Won my first three games (X-Men, Funhouse, Shrek) lost the next two (BSD (holy hell that table's brutal) Eight Ball) but then won the next (Eight Ball Deluxe.) 8 people left at the start of round 7. Most had at least one loss. Table for my next matchup... WOZ. Thankfully, I made a point of playing some WOZ as a warmup before the tournament started, but I still didn't know the table as well as I would have liked for a tourney. Got out to a really solid lead during my second ball when the ball went down the left outlane and into the "There's No Place Like Home" area. (For anyone who doesn't know the table, this is a really cool feature: There are some spot targets and a pop bumper at the bottom of the left outlane. Using the pop bumper and some *gentle* shaking, you want to try to light all five spots and then it starts a mode that, if completed, will allow you to continue on with that ball.) Got WAY overexcited. Lit all the spot targets and didn't even notice, ended up tilting. My opponent then dropped a good 90k on his ball. I did what I could to make up the lost ground on my last ball, but still ended up 40k or so short. Definitely frustrating, but it was a pretty great battle regardless. The other matches for that round had concluded, so everyone was gathered around watching us. Lots of handshakes after it was over. It's true: It's more fun to compete. [/QUOTE]
