When a ball hits a drop target, should the ball always score points immediately, or only if the ball <also> hits the playfield switch behind the rubbers (see green arrow in pic) that are behind the bank of drop targets? Trying to figure out if I have the playfield switches behind the targets adjusted correctly.

Also, when a ball goes over a playfield rollover switch, my score motor turns, FS relay actuates, C&D relays actuate. However, I don't ever score points immediately from a rollover. Should I?

Thanks in advance for reading!

Quoted from Boslaw:

You will get points immediately and then bonus points when the ball drains.

You should get points immediately. When do you get them now?

Thanks @currieddog. I missed the parenthetical in the 1st paragraph - I read the start of the paragraph as applying to "completing" the drop targets and ignored the rest.

I don't think I'm currently getting any points when I hit a drop target. I'll have to check again tonight after work.
