Quoted from cooked71:Agree it’s not particularly hard to lock, but if I happen to be the player after someone who has already locked both balls, I’ve basically been given multiball, whereas the other 2 players haven’t. So it’s like a random multiball reward. No different than an award from the mystery scoop, which competition organizers try to disable.
We’re talking about a user selectable mode here, not default settings. If your competition wants to leave it default then great. But I can see it being an issue, especially at top level play. Would be a shame if this game wasn’t played at that level as it deserves to be.
If it's that big a deal to you (or anyone else), then just treat it like a single player EM then--1 player per game, like others have suggested.
EDIT: This is exactly what we do in our monthly tours, except for finals. You can play single player during qualifying if you want. During finals, you're only allowed to play it multi-player.
