Can someone clarify this for those of us new to the competitive pinball world? I played at PAPA last year and you paid for a 5 game ticket. I think it was $10 for the C division. My understanding was that they took your best overall ticket and gave you points based on your score for each game when ranked against everyone else that played that game. Weren't you allowed to buy as many tickets as you wanted?

So what would the difference between that format and the new format be? Since you could buy as many 5 game tickets as you want, wasn't it still pump and dump?
