Great news! Show was a great time for my family and me, as it has for the past three TPF's. Venue was definitely the best of the three we've taken part in. And the free breakfasts and happy hours were a VERY nice benefit.

For anyone who's never been, you should add this to your calendar and start planning/saving now to be there!

Ed, If there's any possibility -- now that the hotel has seen how many hotel guests that TPF brought to their door -- to negotiate in free WiFi for the ballroom for attendee use, and also for tourney use, that would be fantastic!
-- Although I'm guessing Marcus has already asked you for this.

New ruleset for Centaur??!?
What are the changes?

Fascinating. So this new dip setting completely erases all bonus from ball to ball, including the "super bonus" levels at each increment of 20K?

Bingo. Super bonus, while fun in solo / casual play, skew the value of ball 1. Granted, there are plenty of EM's that skew the value of ball 5 with auto-double-bonus, but at least with that, there are 4 other balls to offset a house ball on ball 5.

(Sorry for hijacking this thread to something unrelated to 2105 TPF)

You're right. I don't like the Bats/Rats carryover bonus either, especially because the value you end up getting is largely dependent on how lucky you get in the pops on the initial auto-plunge at beginning of Bats mode.
So even if player 1 and 2 both skillfully shoot enough ramp loops to start Bats on Ball 1, 1 could have nearly 50M (x3) while 2 could get just 5M (x3).
