World Challenge Soccer pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

In World Challenge Soccer, the left and center targets raise Goal Value for the current ball. Complete the MULTI and BALL drop groups, lock twice, then plunge through the lit rollover to qualify the Multiball Jackpots. Alternate the Goal and ramp Jackpots, using B-O-O only for an important open-goal conversion.

The goal

Hit the left or center target to raise Goal Value before Multiball. Complete the MULTI and BALL drops to light both locks, then alternate the qualified Goal and ramp Jackpots.

  1. Use the opening ball save to test the center target, left target, goal, and both lock feeds.

  2. Hit the safer left or center target to raise Goal Value before committing to Multiball.

  3. Complete the MULTI and BALL drop groups to light the two lock shots.

  4. Lock both balls, then plunge through the lit top rollover to qualify the opening Multiball jackpots.

  5. Collect the qualified Goal jackpot, then the qualified ramp jackpot; rebuild the drop banks between later collects.

  6. Use B-O-O only when opening the goal converts a major value or a match-critical shot.

    • Holding both flippers opens the goal for one shot and is available once per ball.: Holding both flippers opens the goal for one shot and is available once per ball.

Alternative route: Recovery: Goal-value position play

Recovery pivot: Use this when the drop banks or lock feeds are rejecting but the Goal shot is controllable.

  1. Hit the safer left or center target to raise Goal Value.
  2. Use normal progress or the saved B-O-O award to open the Goal.
  3. Cash the Goal and protect the resulting bonus rather than forcing Multiball.
