    If you are playing a game and your ball goes down the out lane while you have the ball save; you perform a effective slide(death) save to bring the ball back into play and get the machine generated ball save plunge from the trough, giving you now two balls in play. Is it cheating?

    Quoted from chuckwurt:

    Yes. Can’t have two balls in play during single ball play.

    But....if the game doesn't tilt you out....hum?

    Quoted from o-din:

    If you have your anticheat devices adjusted properly, they should penalize you if you are overly moving the machine.

    correct, but your ball may not end if you only get a double danger...

    Quoted from chuckwurt:

    Doesn’t matter. It’s illegal to play with multiple balls in single ball play. Also bringing a ball back into play from an outlane drain with nudging or sliding is illegal.
    But even if it was fast enough that the ball bounced back into play on its own, you still have to drain one.

    Is that an IFPA rule or just one that is made up by players. Understand that I am not a competitive player... well I played in one comp but have never read the rules.

    Quoted from o-din:

    Get rid of warnings is an option. And if you are playing at home or on location, it is however the owner of the game has it set up that will determine if it is cheating or not buy that and the tilt setting.
    Again, anything else is just fake rules. I won't play where they make up rules that aren't in the game.

    That's part of my point. The object is to keep your ball/'s in play. If you can do it with out tilting the game...I vote for "game on"

    I have had others tell me your cheating...hog wash!

    Quoted from o-din:

    Tournament play sounds like a drag. Are there any other restrictions like no shirt, no shoes, no dice?

    omg...lol
