Re: PAPA Machine specific settings

Thanks very much for the game specific setting information that you
experienced during your "A" division play. I hope others can fill in
some of the information regarding the games in use in all of the
divisions. Would be great to have in order to better prepare for next
years tourney.

If you could coordinate a PAPA strategy guide it would be greatly
appreciated to say the least. I'm sure others would find the resource
most valuable in thier Papa quest and in everyday play as well. I'll
have to set up my TZ to mimic the settings that you mentioned to get
an idea at how much harder it must of been to play at those settings
vs factory ones.

Email with questions will be headed your way shortly;
Much appreciated
