Competition Install Cheatsheet

Talk to your local operator if you see a pin with tournament mode buttons. To my understanding, this button is not intended for general tournament play, but rather is intended to be a passive tournament mode. Rather than playing a tournament in one night, you pay extra and play tournament mode to get your hightst score. When the passive tournament ends (at the end of the week, or end of the month), you go see the operator and you get a chunk of cash if you won. This button accomplishs nothing good if there is no actual running tournament, (you just pay more and lose extra balls).

Welcome to Tilt. That last part isnā€™t correct. If there isnā€™t a TOPs tournament running, it wonā€™t allow you to start a tournament game. Button does nothing.

The original post is wikified, and I filled it in with some initial info. Please feel free to reformat it to make it actually helpful. My memory is fuzzy on a lot of these, plz correct as appropriate :slight_smile:

Also, holy cow, Comp Install changes a ton on TWDā€¦! I knew about the basic stuff like not lighting modes during MB, but it makes a lot of the multi-kills harder/disabled as well.

Iā€™ll see your TWD and raise you a GOT. Haha. Iā€™ll add that when I get my game back this weekend.

Some of the early ā€œdingerā€ SS games may award 50,000 for both EB and Special. Mata Hari does for sure.

I added these Mando notes, plus extra details from the Mando readme; but I didnā€™t confirm any of this with an actual machine. As far as I know, Mando is the only game where the ā€œDefault Game Modeā€ is in the feature adjustments menu rather than the standard adjustments menu.

I added Guardians, but Iā€™m guessing all of those Standard Adjustments changes from the competition install seem like theyā€™re pretty universal. Should they all just be listed once at the top for all Sterns? (e.g. free play, player language select)

I pulled the extra ball points value from the Guardians rules wiki too. Iā€™d love to have that info handy on this wiki for all of these games too.

Iā€™m happy to take any unformatted info anyone has and Iā€™ll work them into the wiki. Looks like AIQ is all good now.

I say keep it game by game.

If Iā€™m printing out a sheet for each game how would you do that if each game only listed the non-standard adjustments?

If I can leave a sheet at each game with all the changes I think itā€™s slightly easier.

Canā€™t wait for the ā€˜competition settingsā€™ flipper code to be implemented that shows all the relevant settings a tournament player might care about.

Competition is one of the options when changing Default Game Mode. Itā€™s there, just in a different spot than any other game.
