There are other tournaments to participate in, and an overall great time to be had by all! If there is a game in the tourny row, you want to play, just buy a tournament ticket and play the game. I have done this in the past, with no intentions of truly competing. I ended up learning a bit about how the tourny works, without investing much time or money into it.
Keep your flipper fingers strong dudes and dudettes.
