Quoted from mtkinf:
You want a sporting event. If a foul is committed but the referee/umpire does not see it, is it still a foul?
C'mon. That's a far better analogy than a cargument.
It is better. Except in this case, the ref is the tilt bob. The penalty is tilting the machine and losing points, but I just moved it 2 inches and it didn't tilt so there is no foul. In a tournament last week I moved an Aerosmith probably 4-5 inches, it didn't tilt out, no big deal. Mind you I didn't think, "Ok i need to pick up the machines and move it to one side," I just reacted and the machine moved over a concrete floor...what am I to do? Just walk away from the game mid ball saying I'm sorry?
Up to the tournament director. If it's a player running it i have never had an issue. If it's a collector I've had 1 person bitch at me, but I was rage tilting so it was deserved on their part.
Once again, make the tilt tougher...use games that deal with bonii after the ball...stops it right quick.
