Quickie Version
UTAD, preferably along the sides rather than through the center saucer (slightly wider shots).
Go-To Flipper
Balanced
Full Rules
Probably the oldest tournament game you’re ever likely to play – in Pittsburgh; I’ve only seen one elsewhere twice in many years.
All the things to hit are around the perimeter of the game, so UTAD is pretty much all there is to do anyway. I prefer to shoot the ball up along the sides rather than more in the middle; they’re safer and easier to shoot than the center. Pray for bumper and saucer love. When draining out the sides, try to get “rack ball” rather than the “special when lit” lane; racking all nine balls lights all of the saucers.
Playfield Risk
Trouble - - most exits from the top will land on a slingshot; some will drain, a few will come to a flipper. Kickouts from the three saucers often also go to a slingshot rather than a flipper. Expect lots of nasty slingshot action. Hitting the 10-point rubbers on either side of the center saucer often rebounds to the same-side outlane.
