advanced curveball tournament.
explanation:
on my old computer i started having this problem where the color of advanced curveball would be really messed up. this cause me to get a score of 21k in the tournament and then lower my second try. with only one try left i decided it was best to wait until it fixed itself or something, expecially with zivix having a score of 27k, which i usually had a difficult time beating for some reason or other (my highest curveball score up til today was actually 32k)

well, i got my new computer yestarday and decided to give it a try today. not only was the color better but it was so much smoother than it had been. i did a practice game and got like 26k and decide it was time to try.

since i only had one try left and zwivix had 2 i knew i'd have to get at least 30k (which has been difficult lately) to ensure my tournament victory. i started, i payed way more attention than usual and focused on teh game. i got to level 9 and slowly but surely made it to 26k, only a little left i know but then before i knew it i was at 30k. i lost anotehr ball, i was down to my last one. i had already won the tournament i was sure but i wanted to get higher, i wnated to beat the current high score. once again i focused in on the game. by the time i lost my ball and looked up i had reached 33k, higher the the current high score, but oh no it doesn't end there.

because it was a tournament match it didn't show up on the high score list, just as like the highest score ever on it or something like that. i had to play a non tournament game and do it again, but no, i couldn't settle for just beating that current high score i had to beat my high as well. and so i focused in again. i didn't lose a single ball til lvl 8 but then i started to choke. no i couldn't fail, i had already gone too far. i regained my focus, went in to lvl 9 with 3 balls at 28k. like an idiot i made mistakes.

i was down to my last ball and made it to 32k, just a couple hundred below the current high score. i focused on the game like never before. "Accuracy bonus!", "curve bonus!", "advanced curve bonus!" these words showed on my screen multiple times as i threw my mouse to every corner of the game trying to get the ball. i was no longer trying to beat the computer, i just wanted to survive. then, the ball curved when i didn't expect it to, i couldn't react in time, i was sure it was over, i was finished, all my effort was for nothing. i lowered my head in shame. but then i looked up and there it was, i had the top score, 34k!
