What about this: pick a table and set 3 categories:

- First ball best score.
- 3 balls best score.
- Full game (5 balls) best score.

i only got some ideas for a long term "yearly" tournament/championship:

every month 2 tables to play (classic / modern) + some specials like "battle of the originals"... so thats 24 tables per year

some exponentially scoring system: 1st - 100, 2dn - 80, 3rd - 60, ... down to 1 point for the 20-30th?

you have 3 winners every month: classic, modern & combined

and at the end of the year you have 2 champions & 1 grand-champion... and maybe 3 nice (virtual) pin-related prizes? and of course something "special" for the last

people can jump in/out whenever they want... if you can't compete 1-2 month you can still become champion


edit... more ideas:

tables should be mostly established & bug-free versions (newest releases are much played anyway)

next tables could be proposed during the month... and the "jury" could pick from those, or pick event-related tributes/specials for next month (what they think fits best)

n3X_VI, your idea is great!!
we should fully integrate this category: table invented;
to discover more tables, every month a list of several tables would be displayed (two in each category), no requirement to play at all, is a potential for Dummies (Hum. .. "the less good", my category ... ) to take some points and force the champions to play at any table types!
What do you think?

This sounds god my friends.
I think it would be a good idea, perhaps to create a poll to see what the community thinks about it.
