I think something that'd fix this somewhat would be to give every player a certain number of tries on each of the four tables (15-20 maybe). That way grinding wouldn't be a factor. Once you're done for the week your score is set. The extra points for dominance would also prevent hundreds of people having the same score in the end. At the moment I'd have to agree with what the others said. In this mode it doesn't matter how good you are just how much you play. Unless the scores you have to get even with the easiest option become A LOT more difficult it will just be about who plays the most.

Are 20% grinding though?
Once the leagues get established there may still be merit in the system.
I will wait and see how this goes, although you could be right, I feel the level I will fall at it will be a challenge in itself to get enogh points to be able to beat harder opponents.

Before one of you smart guys chime in. There is no 5 minute time limit for sex.

I agree with everything DugFreez said.when i looked at the matchup ranks today i got knocked down 10 spots just because somebody played longer than me.this is not a skill based mode,it`s a grinding contest.

Also....why is it timed? Why not have this mode as 1 attempt on 4 different tables. Choose your competitors (as it is now. Good risk reward decision on how strong you feel you are on each game ) easy score, med score or hard score to beat, but you only get 1 attempt on each game in a 3 ball (no free balls) game. No boosters or power ups or anything like that. Just the game with the same basic setting as everyone else you are playing against.
If you like you could have a booster league and a standard league. If you have a booster league, you might as well allow extra balls also.
I originally saw this mode and got excited...then I looked at it and realized it was made by someone that wanted to push "play more, play more, play more, buy all the table, play more, buy, buy, buy, play more" instead of someone that had actually played in a pinball league.
I have to say there is not one new mode in PBFX3 that excites me at all. They are all "play until you win" modes. If you want that...that is fine, but make limited tournament and league modes also. Where if you suck...you suck. Just like real pinball leagues and tournaments...sometimes you are on and sometimes you are off...there are no try agains or re-dos. If you are a bronze 3 level player...you will be playing in bronze 3 until you improve.
This is coming from a 5 year, B level league player (very inconsistent and mediocre) that likes participating and trying to improve.
