Lord, I hope I never play in a tourney where subsequent attempts count, even if they are a lower score. Example, Multiple attempts on Avatar:
1. 6,456,xxx
2. 11,234,xxx
3. 17,789,xxx
4. 26,475,xxx
5. 4,502,xxx
6. 36,331,xxx
7. 9,492,xxx.
Now my best score on Avatar is 9,492,xxx? That is not remotely how pinball in general works, IMHO.
For a better alternative to pump and dump(which I am perfectly fine with), I would endorse a format where you get 3 attempts at each machine. All attempts count, to be added up for a composite score for each individual machine. Like this:
TWD
1. 34,567,000
2. 10,456,000
3. 56,123,000
Total for TWD = 101,146,000
EB
1. 56,230
2. 117,450
3. 359,120
Total for EB = 532,800
NF
1. 589,123,000
2. 1,234,991,000
3. 2,006,471,000
Total for NF = 3,830,585,000
