    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

    Quoted from lmcdonald111:

    Took me much longer in Texas, Louisville and Chicago.
    You must have really really long legs
    Time to be called
    Time to get up
    Time towalk from the waiting area
    Time to get ready
    I think you would be surprised how many more plays there really could be
    Marcus, how many more plays do you think TEXAS pin fest could get?

    Louisville was not like that. Wait in game specific line with chairs. When the other guy is done you take 3 steps and you are at the game. The only wait which is very short is waiting for a scorekeeper to get your score entered. I did hear that Chicago was much worse.
