Nope, WOZ isn't planned for the Louisville tournament.

Most people are basing this on the those little side tournaments we've had over the last year where some games seemed to take 10+ minutes.

Of course, these games were usually setup shallow, slow, normal outlanes, yada yada yada

Actually with taking the top 24, it only took 2 really good games and a decent game to get qualified, so you could get in with two bad games on your card.

But familiarity had nothing to do it with why it was avoided. It was simply a huge drain monster and there was other games that were way more controllable. Hitting the witch and going into the pops was extremely risky. Plus this game had a problem where a great shot up the ramp was sometimes rewarded with a ball flying off the wire form into State Fair and drain. We also had a wizard scoop that shot SDTM occasionally. (I actually had one hit the top of the sling and go into TOTO... doh)

Skillshots were also neutered in this version of the software so you could basically only hit the witch and crystal ball from the upper flipper. So no more soft plunge, trap on lower flipper and shoot. And with the wide open out lanes, ball saves turned off, shooting a skill shot was basic suicidal.

Hopefully Mark reset the audits before the tournament, I would love to see the average ball time.

It's Karl's software, I didn't write it I just leverage it at tournaments I attend and point out any bugs when I find them.

It was disappointing that FT was such a dud.

To me, ST was set up much more brutally than WOZ was, but after getting 1.3M on ST I never bothered trying it again. Obviously many people had success on it especially as people got used to the game and played it more.

While ST could be brutal, the tilt was way more forgiving than WOZ and the potential to put a score seemed easier since you could just time out modes to get to Kobayashi. (sigh)
