Pros
- Maximum play time inside 3 hour window
- High IFPA Point potential (TGP in the 90s-100 versus 72 at last Pinball Blast)
- More player interaction with group play
- More continuous play, should minimize wait time between rounds
Cons
- Possible initial increase in DQs due to playing out of order (initial lack of familiarity to format)
