That's not an issue, it's the way the rules are set up. It makes you have to be much more careful which targets you go for. It's a much better game BECAUSE the targets don't reset. The idea is that you only shoot at the side that's lit for 500 and a bonus advance, and if you are really skilled, only when it has the individual drop target light in front of it for 5000 points and two bonus advances. They you shoot it to the bumper to change the lights. Once all targets are down, then you go for the lit 1000 point bumper and try to get the ball up to where it can hit bonus advance, etc.
