    OK What is the best way to train (besides playing pinball) for the biggest tournament ever?

    Any suggestions as to how a spend my pinball playing time/tokens? how much to watch videos? diet? exercises?

    What do the pros do to train?

    If one owns no games and can only play on location?

    Quoted from bkerins:

    Stamina matters: Pinburgh lasts 10 hours a day for two and hopefully three days. If you can keep up a high quality of play for a long time you'll do well.
    Playing multiplayer games, against other players, would probably be my strongest recommendation. You'll get used to the rhythm of playing and not playing, and figure out what you do in the short downtime between balls. Watch everyone play! They're teaching you to play better, and their play gives you information about how a machine plays.

    Are there any stamina-training exercises you do to "get in shape" for long tournaments?

    I can't get into the whole headphones thing, because the audio cue is the best way of knowing if I've set off any tilt warnings. If more games had headphone jacks, I might find headphones useful, but the idea of listening to anything other than game audio during a game has never been my style
