I had a really good ball one at leagues tonight on Tron and learned a very important lesson: it's not always the best move to try for points on extra ball plunges.

I'd lit solid the tree without disc (but played disc) and instead of doing what I should have and full plunging the ball, I went for the skill shot forgetting it would start SOS. I was a bit caught up in how good the ball was. I might not have actually finished disc on the next ball but thinking back on it, soft plunging the extra ball to try and get the 500K was not the right move. I left a possible Portal run on the table. Whoops.

I'm really enjoying leagues and I think it's helping me play better. And it's just fun learning more of the games I probably wouldn't play otherwise.

Haha, ouch! That makes me feel better about the time I forgot about how locks/multiball start worked, and plunged an EB on High Speed to start multiball. No clue what I was thinking. It seemed like a good idea at the time!

Doh! At least you get points just for starting SOS. If it was ball three it would have been a good move...

Yeah, and sometimes you can be TOO cocky too....espeically on a game like Tron. Can't tell you how many times I tried to start double scoring before hitting scoop to start SoS and just drained like an idiot on ball 3..
