    Quoted from ifpapinball:

    The idea behind WPPR v5.0 is that the more games played as part of a tournament, the better chance players have to display their skill. The better chance players have to display their skill, the better those results should reflect to skill level of the players participating.

    One thing I think about this is that it's more "legit" in the result, but I feel like a lot of us like the fact that we can win a tourney against good folks in a format that is just a one off. I know in a best of 7 I would always lose to a top 100 player, while in a launch party tourney I have a chance. Either way you still had to produce, and the randomness of pinball is part of the fun so minimizing it makes sense but maybe there's a middle ground for things especially like launch parties just so TDs don't try and make them super long just to maximize WPPRs?
