Well that sucks.
I turned on the coin door ball save on the day I got the game.
Have not had to use it yet, but now I find out it is useless. Arrrrgh.
Stern seem to be slowly pissing me off. First the lock bar latches and no slider rails, then the power switch on the head, and now no coin door ball save.
But they can get away with it being pretty much the only game in town.

First of all before this gets down voted, I am all for the change to keep things moving along and fun for everyone.
So congrats for nipping this potential problem in the bud.

However I feel that the math above has always been there and was even worse with the announced 200 spots.
Who finally put pen to paper to avert a TPF tourney trainwreck?

No matter what we always have fun. And we have those great stories of playing competitive pinball until 3:30 in the morning.
Looking forward to another great year of Pinball.
