<p class="MsoNormal">Tilts are tight. Really tight. Lots of EMs have a "feature" where a tilt ends the game. I believe they are all marked but assume every single player EM is set up that way (2001 anyone?).<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Speaking of tilts, tilt-throughs are no joke and they are a DQ. You might get a break if you're playing a Stern solid state but don't count on it. Last year the player in front of me tilted every ball on a solid state which meant that
I also tilted every ball. Take a minute after they tilt and wait, don't just plunge.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Another Pinburgh tip: every point is important. Especially if you're having a crappy game, just try to do enough to beat one player, and go from there. It's straight 3-2-1-0 scoring, no FSPA-style bonus points to be stolen.<br>
