A lot of games get used in Pinburgh even if they're not the best for tournament play, mainly because that tournament has soooo many people, and being a match-play event it has to have as many games as possible to suit the players.
The IFPA banned list is just an internal selection of games you wouldn't see at official IFPA events, not something PAPA, nor all IFPA sanctioned events, would have to follow.
Quoted from Bugsy:I'm still not quite sure how Terminator 2 should be banned.
"Terminator 2 software contains bugs that can potentially be devastating to a competitive game. Known bugs include: 255 drop target hits to multiball, and a multiball bug that may occur when a ball is locked with zero seconds left on the timer causing a string of odd behavior from the game."
A player has to hit the drop target 255 times which will give them an instant multiball? I suppose the other reason makes sense, but there is no way a player will be able to hit the drop target 255 times without a good number of those coming back SDTM. Plus "odd behavior" doesn't really define what that really is...
There are videos of T2 being used in PAPA tournaments and it seemed like a fine game to have included.
I believe that "255 hits to multiball" bug is one that requires someone to hit the drop target 255 times in order to open up and allow them to start their multiball, so it locks them out of multiball for all that time. It also has issues where a jackpot can register but no points are actually awarded, this bug even happened on camera at PAPA.
