World Champ pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Start with A and B at the top to light both 100,000-point contacts. For Specials, choose an unlit Round while the knockdown count is zero, then stay on that Round until you make three knockdowns. Once one or two are banked, avoid yellow rollover buttons and purple standups because moving the Round erases that progress. Repeat on another unlit Round, and avoid the center gobble hole unless the event converts its lit-Special awards into useful value.
The goal
Light A and B for the 100,000-point contacts, then complete three knockdowns without changing the selected Round; move only at zero progress and treat the center gobble hole as a setup-dependent cash-out that ends the ball.
Collect A and B at the top when safely available so both 100,000-point contacts are lit.
With zero knockdowns showing, use a yellow rollover button or purple standup to select a Round whose Special is not lit.
Build three knockdowns on that Round through the safest white standup or currently lit alternating red or lower-side rollover.
After the first knockdown, avoid switches that move the Round; changing it clears the partial count.
Let the third knockdown light that Round's Special and advance the Round, then repeat on another unlit Round.
Keep scoring the lit 100,000-point contacts and avoid the center gobble hole unless the installed competition setup gives useful value for its replay awards.
