Using the DX Ranking Feature
The new R6 version of the DX features an innovative stand-alone
promotional tournament mode.
This mode ranks player by performance and it similar to the timed
tournament modes on Merit’s Megatouch video products. The event’s
ranking list is available to the players from the DX machine’s idle mode.
How it Works
To Play
The event is a timed duration tournament. Players may play as often as
they like for the duration of the event. A MATCH will consist of a se-
quence of 1 to 7 games (as configured by the operator). The player with
the most points at the end of the tournament wins.
Scoring
Players earn 1 point for playing each game in the MATCH, 5 points for
winning a game in the MATCH, and 1 point for each feat achieved in the
MATCH. In addition, each player’s total score is multiplied by the total
number of players that are playing in the current match. The more
players that participate in a given MATCH, the more players are re-
warded
The DX will not limit how many times players can play. However this can
be managed manually so that players are allowed to play only once.
This is especially applicable to “one night” events.
How to Setup the Ranking Event
The event is configured from the operator setup mode on the DX. From
the operator setup mode, select GAME SETUP -> MACHINE SET-
TINGS -> PROMOTIONAL FEATURES -> SETUP RANKING EVENT.
•
Start Time - The time and date when the event will start
•
End Time - The time and date when the event ends
•
Number of Games – The number of games that each match will
have. Pressing the button will raise the counter. (Example: Players
will play 3 games in the MATCH)
•
Event Games – Pressing this button will bring up the Ranking Game
Selection screen where you can select the types of games that will
be played in the MATCH. You may also select any options for each
game.
•
Price Per Player – The price in CREDITS (per player) that players
must play to play a MATCH.
•
Erase Player Data – Pressing this button will erase the entire ranking
event player database that is stored in the DX. This database
consist of the player's name and their score. Since the database can
grow indefinitely over time, it is a good idea to clear this out every
season.
