Scoreboard finally posted. Sorry for not being updating it during the week. It has been a very hectic week.
And it looks like Tables got this one in the bag with that score.

I've been playing a lot of RollerGames this week trying to no death it, so I haven't been putting my best effort into pinball. Honestly High Speed is pretty cool except for the stupid tumbleweeds.

And those scores wouldn't even make participation since they weren't enough to show on the high score screen.  
But I guess I will make an exception and drop the participation requirement so we have at least 8 scores.

Sad to see such low participation, this game is a hidden gem. Can't seem to break 6mil but maybe one day.

I apologize. I looked at the rules but didn’t assume “take your picture at the high score screen” defined the participation requirement. 

I honestly couldn’t find much time this week. When I did find time for a few runs those tumbleweeds took my last two balls almost instantly. Again, I apologize for the lame score.

but seriously tablesAndChairs.. now that scores are final, I've gotta know -- did you break it, or did you just get really good at putting it exactly where you aimed?

basically there's only one shot you have to be good at, left flipper into the hole.  then when it kicks out it's easy to use the upper flipper to hit left ramp and start advancing the stoplight just repeat and eventually you'll get multiball.  the only other real skill is shaking without tilting to free the ball from the enemies and to keep it from going down the outlanes.

Yeah towards the end of me playing the game for this week I didn't even use the right flipper except to pass it over to the left.

Interesting. I was mostly relying on the right flipper -- sending it to the upper left, then using the upper right flipper to keep it going round the circle until it triggered jackpot mode. I suppose I was making it way too hard on myself.

That game had to been well over an hour to play. Think of the zone you'd have to be in.

The mini games break it up I enjoyed and I think I was probably playing for almost three hours, I kept going for like another 30 minutes after the max and eventually I just let 3 or 4 balls drain to be done
