Added a poll to see what everyone is playing.

Quoted from BMHouze:Three requires more skill/luck to get a high score. Keeps overall play time/wear lower.
Plus if you're like me playing the same machine with your wife the bickering time about how much better you are doing or that you should just let the ball drain to make things 'fair' is much shorter.
Ha ha it would be nice to have a setting where you can play 3 balls while she plays 5 in the same game.
Quoted from swampfire:5 for EM, 3 for everything else.
what's the difference between em's and everything else.
Quoted from GarlandJenkins:I think there should be 2 lists of high scores when it comes to 3 and 5 ball.
great idea.
Quoted from rexman10:Depends on the game. I play Star Trek on 5 ball to get further in the game and even so my games are short. I played SM with three but set it to get extra balls based on score. I would tinker with the settings to keep the game time from getting too long. When I start to get bored with a game, I will change the setting to mix it up and change strategy.
Yeah its interesting to hear everyone's thoughts.
When people play in tournaments is it 3 or 5 ball?
