Quoted from LOTR_breath:I'm really excited about the SFGE coming up in ATL on the weekend of June 20th. Only 2.5 hours from B'ham. It will be the first circuit event in the southeast.
Do you mean the first event in the southeast for 2014?
The Southern Pinball Festival in Orlando, Florida in Nov 2013 and Nov 2012 were part of the PAPA circuit. This year the name has changed to Free Play Florida and it will also be part of the PAPA circuit.
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Well, I should reword that. I live in the Heart of Dixie. Orlando is like a 9-10 hour drive, so I don't really think of it as "Southeast", even though technically it is.
I understand.
Just because an event is in Florida doesn't mean it is even close to residents in the state. Florida is a long state from Key West to the panhandle.
Quoted from Spraynard:So what is everyone's strategy for going head-to-head with a better player? Do you choose a game that you are comfortable on? Do you choose a game that the player has been struggling on? Or do you choose a tough classics game and hope they get a couple house balls?
Hoping an opponent gets house balls is not a reliable way to win. And just because they were struggling on a particular game does not mean they will struggle the next time they play that game. It could be a game they are good at, and just had some bad breaks. Pinball is like that.
So, if you have a choice of games, the best strategy is to pick a game you are comfortable with. You are not playing the opponent, but rather each playing against the machine. If you know your opponent likes the exact same types of games that you do, and you have the option, let him pick the game and you choose position. But you'd better be certain he will pick similar games and not have the attitude of picking a randomizer and hoping you get house balls.
