So what's the point of that...just to make sure someone doesn't eventually roll the game? I dunno about you guys, but even when I've had MONSTER games on centaur/centaur 2, I've never even gotten remotely close to rolling it. I guess the theory is that for it to be considered a good competitive game, the merits of each ball should be taken into account, and having the bonus roll over from ball to ball means if you have a ridiculous ball one and mediocre 2/3, then the other guy has good scores across the board but no monster ball to start with, he could still lose?

Makes sense I guess. Still, there's something to be said for just having an awesome ball 1 and completely burying your opponent. Bats bonus on BSD is the same way, right? Carries over from ball to ball, IIRC.
