Nice, another chance for the slippers. I'll take a week off work just for a slim chance for those zen slippers.

This seems really cool. Me being new to ZP, it seems like something I would really like. Only thing is I do not have a Xbox or ps3. Any chance we could get an Android tournament?

Nice I haven't been playing lately for some reason, but I'll certainly jump in again during the tourneys

[RabidShark]

Excellent!

So far cant seem to get a decent score posted. Good thing theres a week to play, not that i'll come close to top three. Over 3b wow, must take hours to rack up a score. Perhaps a lucky random draw for the slippers.

I got a little over 350 million. I nearly tripled my old score and that all came from the Multiball modes. I didn't even touch the wizard mode.

Nice score, I played all night and finally got to 276m. Still miles away from those top five billion posted. Im finding tourney mode a bit harder, prolly just me but I got 376m a few days back in half the time. Those extra balls help, most have is only three so far in one game.

Yeah... I have also had one game that lasted me about two hours and scored 500mil+. Played through the wizard mode... didn't score too well in Grand Finalle. Can see that there are certain modes where the jackpots etc. keep on increasing so I guess I must just figure out what the safe ways are to boost the score quickly... obviously the 5bil guys have figured this out. Not to keen these days to play for hours on end just on one game.

I scored my best ever on my first try in the tournament last night. It's not enough to be competitive, but I beat several of my friends, so I'm satisfied. Not that I won't try again!

Ditto! Not to mention, I'm terrible at grinding. It's very difficult for me to get high score if it requires me to keep a long combo going or to grind the same thing for over an hour.

This is why I just focus on getting 100% (trophies/achievements). It's something that I can accomplish, since none of the adjectives require me to do any major grinding.

Same here, I get more fun and satisfaction by earning the trophies than grinding and getting a good score. I know I will never challenge for the top three but I will give it my best shot, I have set myself a target of 500k but I fear that may be a bit optimistic for me...

finally got around 600M all from multiball modes 4 extra balls and a few saber savers really help a lot s..and there seems to be a high scoring move during hyperspace/fighter/jedi or sith multiball at the same time..i was seeing 5M, 6M, 10M scores during my game.

[ER777]

To my surprise I just joined the billionaire's club for this table, more than quadrupling my previous best! The game took nearly 4 hours, including tons of stacked multi-balls and two passes at the grand finale. I even got to play Hyperspace mode for the first time.

I don't think I have the motivation to try to do any better than that, so that will be my final score in this tournament and I'm completely satisfied with it.
