https://vpuniverse.com/forums/forum/169-tournament-league-rules-discussion/enhttps://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/5946-extra-balls-should-they-be-plunged/ Per IFPA rules - Extra Balls should be deactivated within the rom settings.  If the game is not able to disable extra balls; the extra ball should be plunged.  

Recent changes to the IFPA rule - If extra balls are enabled on the game.  The person can announce and play the extra ball, but they have to plunge one of their next balls.

These rules are difficult to enforce for virtual / online league.  I think for our use; simply plunging the extra ball would suffice.

I believe for tournament / league purposes that nudge keys should be disabled/unmapped.  This is really the only way to take nudging / tilting out of the question.  If you can't nudge; you can't tilt.  This would be done in the name of fairness.

Some may say that playing without nudging isn't realistic, but in reality it is...  I've played many real pinball competitions where the tilt bob on the game was so tight that simply doing anything above a light flipper slap would tilt the game.  On games like this you have to just learn to play with the flow of the ball. 

Nudging in Pinball FX is different and controlled more by the game.  Nudging can be enabled on Pinball FX games for tournament/league play.

If anyone has any other suggestions, questions, or solutions... please share.
