    I was just thinking about tournaments with extra balls turned off.
    I know some games ignore it and others substitute points.
    I know Sopranos gives 25 million and Black Rose awards squat.
    Does anyone know about
    Star Trek, Rolling Stones, Champion pub, LOTR, Fastbreak, Dr. Dude, Flinstones,
    Adams, Demo man, or Safe Cracker?

    Or any other strange tournament settings?

    I think all Sterns from at least the mid 2000s on have an award. I've heard that Family Guy was one of the early ones. It annoys me that tournaments don't award you an extra score manually on some games. Black Rose does have a score option for the special. A lot of older SS pins have a novelty setting which will make the EB worth points, it's too bad that disappeared somewhat with the WPCs

    25 million award for getting extra ball in sopranos? Are you sure? I would keep EBs turned on if they were worth that much as an award. Haha

    Sounds about right. Isn't the point of turning off the extra ball to save time rather than reduce the value of the award? What's an average score per ball on Sopranos?

    That's a good point. True that ball times are more important than score. Just seems very unbalanced to make the most valuable award in the game an EB collect. Especially when it's lit after advancing just a couple ranks. Almost guarantees you a 50 million plus score every game.

    ive put pretty significant time on sopranos and my scores are averaging in the 30-60 range with good games being 100-150 million.
