Briefly

Briefly it is a: A not-to-be-taken-all-to-serious ranking list.

How does it Work?

When you submit a hiscore for a pinball that hiscore will automatically be ranked (relative to the other hiscores submitted for that pinball), a number one rakning awards 5 points in the Fight List, a number two ranking 3 points and a number three ranking 1 point. Rankings not in the top 3 are awarded zero points, that is nothing. A persons total sum of these weird points is called the Magic Rakning Score (MRS) and it is the size of the MRS score that determine your place in the Fight List.

Hey...?

As you might guess a person who is a lousy, but prolific player, has a better chance than an extremely good, but not so prolific player, to get a high position in the Fight List (this since a lot of the hiscore lists only have one or two hiscores submitted to them, as such a prolific player can grab some extra points by sending in a lousy hiscore of his to these lists, ofcourse he runs the risk of beeing laughed at for so obviously sending in poor scores just to grab extra MRS points).

And as time goes by...

As time goes by though more and more people will have submitted hiscores and masters of certain pinballs will rise from the masses and kick down the prolific player from his top positions in the hiscore lists (once again, a prolific player is not neccessarily a master of all titles he play), thus the Fight List will even out and only extreme masters of certain titles will be able to grab an MRS point from the titles they master. And only good players will be able to challenge these extreme masters to steal their MRS points, the prolific player is now out of the game.

Then the fun begins and that is the meaning of the Fight List!

Rules?

These are the rules of the Fight Cl.. eh, Fight List:
First rule of Fight List, you do not talk about Fight List. Second rule of Fight List, you DO NOT talk about Fight List. Third rule of Fight List, when someone say "talihoo" or does a step dance, well... I don't know. Fourth rule of Fight List is before the fifth. Fifth rule of Fight List, one point at a time. Sixth rule of Fight List, no money, no credit. Seventh rule of Fight List, game may go on as long as there are scores to be achived. Eighth and final rule of Fight List, if this is your first night at Fight List, you have to list?
