How do you practice so when you only get one game you have a good enough one?
I just got into the pinball hobby this year and I've started to join the local tournaments and will likely be doing leagues this fall too. I think my skills are progressing OK. I've been watching many of the pinball.org videos and just started to make my own rule sheets to help remember how to score more points and learn new machines. I can reach replay levels on many of the location machines now (usually my first goal) and have even made it on a few of the high score boards recently. My problem is even though I can get a good game in, I seem to have a problem putting it together in tournament play. I'm wondering if there are any strategies I could be trying to help improve my tournament play. I've setup my games at home with more sensitive tilt and open outlanes but I'm not sure how best to practice so that when I only get one game I do alright. Overall, I'm still just trying to improve my avg level of play in hopes that gets me higher.
