I must be missing something simple here. I have a TOPS display on my POTC. I had a house tournament running for a while and then the tournament ended. I turned off tournament (at least I think I did) but for some reason the tournament results keep coming up on the DMD during attract mode. How can I get rid of that? Is there some setting or reset I am missing? I suppose a factory reset would do it but I didn't want to take such drastic action if it wasn't necessary. 
Thanks,
Michael
Quoted from maffewl:I may be off, but I think tournament mode in the menu just changes the "randomness" of certain rewards into a pattern. An example being the Liars Dice gives a predictable outcome and not a random reward. However, there is a tournament that you can set up to run from X date to X date, and it will log the results. It's been a while since I've messed with those settings but I'm pretty sure you just need to go into the actual tournament menu and cancel/end the tournament as the dates inserted are probably still valid. This is separate from "tournament mode" in the settings.
The tourney dates have long passed and the tournament is "officially" over. I guess I will go back into the settings and mess around a bit more.
Quoted from michi:I tried to do the same thing, but it appears to be impossible to get rid of the tournament results in attract mode. If you do a factory reset, you instead see fake tournament results for a tournament that actually never took place.
Michi.
That may be. For some reason I seem to remember never seeing any kind of real or fake tournament stuff displayed on the dmd during attract mode until I started an actual tournament.
Does any one else's POTC display tournament "results" during attract mode if you've never turned on or run a tournament?
Thanks,
Michael
Quoted from zacaj:Was just googling how these tournaments work in the first place, as I'd never seen one and was curious, came across this tidbit: "Start and stop a tournament 10 times to wipe that data (will stay in attract mode forever if you don't)" (via https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stern-tournament-system#post-491570)
, maybe that'll help? Seems weird
Nice find! I must have missed that. Although it does seem weird to have to start and stop a tourney *10* times to wipe the data, but stranger things have happened.
I will give that a shot and report back. Thank you for the link.
Edit: Well I tried it. Started and stopped a tournament 10 time. I just used the quick start and pressed the select button about a million times to quickly cycle through starting and stopping the tournament.
It worked! The previous tourney data is no longer displayed during attract mode. Thanks for finding that post!

Quoted from dzoomer:Original lighting afaik. You can see it on my picture just before. Cool. Many have changed it, but the original colors worked well in the overall presentation for sure.
POTC used all white incandescent GI for the entire game from the factory.
