Tourney machine was on hard settings (had to light each individual Megatron lock by hitting all 3 blue standups); very steep with a strict tilt . I could backhand left ramp, hold up left flipper to trap, repeat backhand until mode started then continue to work left ramp for mode jackpots until losing focus and going for multiballs...whoops. Pop bumpers are lucrative. My 7.7 million amazingly held up as the top qualifying score.
Final four results that I can sort of remember:
1. Maka Honig ---> 6.4M
2. Keith Nelson ---> ~5.9M
3. "Marlboro Dad"---> ~5.7M?
4. Byron Raynz ---> ~5M
Grand prize was $68, a plaque with a Bumblebee Camaro hotwheel-thing attached to it by a hinge, and a Transformers translite! These are worth money right?
