7.8 - Why in God's name are there 3 High Score tables in STTNG? (Pinball Specific Game FAQs)
Which table you get on is based on your score and how many buy-ins you used.
If you used 0 or 1 buy-ins, then your score is eligible for the Honor Roll or
Grand Champion positions. If you used 2 or more buy-ins, then your score
will go in the Officer's Club (thus, the reason it comes after the Honor
Roll). HOWEVER: If your score is over 10B and is NOT the Grand Champion
score, then it goes into the Q Continuum. An unfortunate side effect is that
if your score is over 10B, but not higher than the LOWEST score on the Q
Continuum, then you do NOT get a high score (and thus no credit reward).
Bleah. If you get a Grand Champion score that pushed off a score that was
also above 10B, it'll still get pushed into the first place of the Honor
Roll, but only the last 10 digits will be displayed (i.e. no 10B digit). It
looks mighty weird having a score of 2.9B over a score of 9.9B...
Fortunately, Williams seems to have finally decided on a regular high score
chart and a buy-in high score chart. Buying in may or may not push you off
of the regular chart (e.g. on Shadow, you can't buy in at ALL or you get
pushed down to the buy-in high scores).
