Paragon pinball machine has 1 recorded tournament game in Minneapolis, MN. A game runs about 8m, the median of 1 timed games, so budget for that in a round with a clock on it.
Bonus at 20k, 30k or 40k carries over from ball to ball. Build your bonus on ball 1 to ensure bigger points on balls 2 and 3.
If you have ball cradled on L flipper, tap pass over to R flipper to then shoot spinner/drops. Big points and BIG wow factor.
Spinner builds bonus. Drop targets increases bonus multiplier. Use mini flipper to avoid a drain after hitting drops.
Shoot ball so it drops in the left saucer of the upper playfield. Hitting the saucer again and again will increase your score significantly.
Hold up the upper left flipper as the ball is coming out of the Valley Of Demons. Usually, this returns it to the right flippers.
Nudge upward and slightly left or right on kickout from either saucer to feed into adv. bonus target and other scoop repeatedly.
Exiting the waterfall is dangerous (like a real waterfall) so be prepared to flip with the right and get a tip bounce or slap with the left
A ball stuck between the right flippers needn't be dead. Slap the machine when flipping lightly and you can move the ball back into play
Focus on the stacked drop targets since this multiplies your bonus; only use the LOWER right flipper to hit the drop targets.
Avoid losing the ball between the 2 R flippers by gently tapping the right flipper. If done correctly, only the LOWER R flipper will move.
Avoid hitting the center "advance bonus" standup underneath the pops at any cost, it tends to drain the ball or send it out of control.
Ignore the 3 drop targets on the right side. It's difficult, risky, and not worth it.
