The $1 was too much. Did you know it was "only" 1 dollar?

Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:What’s the big deal about a $1? What’s the actual rule, per game? Per entry? Per tournament?
The big deal is Wisconsin appearently

Quoted from CrazyLevi:you can do it if you beef out in a tournament or don't otherwise perform up to your lofty standards.
No shit eh? Like instead of canceling the ticket I cancel myself from the tourny as a whole...I love it.
Is there a button you have to hit or just yell it out when your last ball is heading towards the drain?
"I need a Suppression judge over here please...immediately"
Quoted from Sly_Old_Devil:Hopefully Pinside will clamp down on people announcing "suppression" in posts!
"Don't announce drains, ignores, or Supressions." 
Quoted from ifpapinball:I've known the guy for just about 25 years and I think we both understand one another 100% on this.
Yes, but he'll always feel like he came out on top of you after gaining a lot of Whysnow's respect. 
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:No it won't. I'm still not understanding why everyone thinks it will. New players show up because ...
Well let me to restate it to you a few times why it will whilst you you tell me a few times why it won't. Hopefully we can get some other people to chime in why they disagree with everyone and then maybe they'll change this rule that they aren't going to change.
Sound good?
Quoted from CrazyLevi:The burning question out of all of this...
Can you suppress mid-tournament?
Ah ah ah....hold it. I'd rather the TD call him at home over the weekend to get a ruling when I pull that card in a couple weeks.
Quoted from davijc02:Can I drink beer and tell inappropriate jokes while you are beating me at pinball?
If so I’m in!
It's still the entire point of pinball, even in competitions.
It's a competition, and any competition is going to cause some butt hurting. Add monies in and it's just going to amp it up (Granted the $1 here is taking it to nuclear levels).
99% of the crying and screaming is towards the machines and not people anyway. Almost everyone is very nice to everyone else and eXpecially dollar dono....er...new people. There are always going to be assholes in anything you do and from my angle Pinball has less than plenty of other things. The higher up you are the more it matters to you.
If you're one of those people that can't fathom how people can get upset losing at something, I don't know what to tell you, that's just how most everything works.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:$1 per event per person. This adds up a lot. Just for my league, we are suppose to drop $44 of our prize pool to them for every submission for these "points"?
I cannot discuss any of this with a Wisonsonion...I have no idea what kind of backwoods laws you freaks have there. 
I thought it was totally illegal to get prize monies there?
