I'm planning a casual pingolf event including STTNG, and would like to hear thoughts on proposed points and particularly rules-based goals. Many of the players at the event will be fairly skilled.

This pingolf event will be a bit different in that players will be offered one of four goal difficulty levels to choose from at the start of each game.

They'll play each game twice--once shooting for a point total and a second game to reach a rule-based goal.

To make the scores more golf-like and encourage goal-achieving the games will be set to five balls, so I don't think these goals are too terribly harsh. I planned to use the tournament settings Bowen described at http://pinball.org/rules/startrekthenextgeneration-notes.txt.

I welcome suggestions and feedback based on my initial stab at the goals, from easy to difficult:

Points goals: 200m, 500m, 800m, 1.5b
Rules goals: Start a Neutral Zone mode, start Borg mb, reach Captain rank, start Final Frontier
