Quoted from CrazyLevi:Turns out tiltforums is about more than just bitching about pinside!
Pretty sweet shitstorm going down about the new PAPA 20 rules. No longer about a 5 game ticket, now it's best game pump n dump. A lot of the old schoolers are melting down over it.
I thought it was cool before but I'm sure this new system will be fun too. Certainly less stressful. Seems "easier." In the end I bet it will have a bit of an effect on who gets in.
I've only been to PAPA once (this year) and the 5 game ticket system was very foreign to me. I soon got the hang of it though.
Even though I had the flu bad, I'm not consistent enough to compete with those top guys. I got some good scores but not all on one ticket. That's what sorts out the men from the boys! Well, I did get 40th in classics between coughs so that wasn't totally hopeless.
The pump and dump would give me some chance to make the playoffs. Well, more than the ticket system would anyway haha.
I read the Tilt Forums thread and I can understand how some of the guys really like the current format. It is different to everything else out there, and really rewards the consistent players.
