Stock e-tek and new mill settings

[arg1271]

Been away for a week and seen that things have changed in regard to the rules:

Saw this on the DYE/Proto section:

OLD
7.5bps to achieve ramping, whereas 7.5bps must be maintained. Ramping capped at 15bps. Once trigger is released only one additional ball may leave the marker.

NEW
3 shots at 'true semi', then 6bps to achieve ramping, whereas 6bps must be maintained. Ramping capped at 12bps. If 6bps is acheived within one second of last trigger pull, ramping will continue. Once trigger is released only one additional ball may leave the marker.

That is correct gents.

In the old mode hopefully I'm correct in reading this but my first 7(.5) shots will be at semi, and then ramping kicks in. So am I right in saying that the old mode is legal, but you are playing at a disadvantage as to how quickly you can acheive ramping, and then obviously keep it ramping.
-Ramping will kick is as soon as the RoF is equivalent to 7.5 bps, so if the first 2 shots are at 0.13333333 seconds apart (or less) ramping will kick in immediately...

So is it legal to play old millenium with ROF capped at 12bps? If not can someone explain the difference?
-Old mode is not legal as there are no 'safety shots'... and if you did, you would be dis-advantaged (all be it by a tiny margin) as the ramping kicks in at a higher RoF

So I'm guessing these instructions for the e-tek may now be obsolete as they are the 'old' settings?

Etek / Etek 2

1. Enter the Setup menu;
2. Select Firing Mode (red) and set the value to 05.0 (Ramp 3);
3. Select Maximum ROF (green) and set the value to 11.8*;
4. Select Maximum ROF with BBSS Disabled (blue) and set the value to 11.8*;
5. Exit the Setup menu;
6. Check the rate of fire on a league approved ROF meter

Any new setting details or word on boards being re-flashed?

Bob, read my post mate that's exactly what I was asking about, are these settings still legal or not based on this comment:

"So is it legal to play old millenium with ROF capped at 12bps? If not can someone explain the difference?

RAMP 3 on the etek is the 7.5 pulls per second setup, none of the 3 shots at pure semi, the ROF cap setting is still valid I grant you but it's the ramp start and maintain I'm more concerned about.

The Millennium rules have not changed since Nicky T made that post. If what he posted was legal then, it is now. The only Ego I know about is the 05, but Ramp 3 on that board does have 3 shots semi, so it would be legal under the new rules as well as old.

The way to check is to quickly double-tap the trigger. If it fires 3 shots, it's illegal.

fair enough, if thats the case I just need to drop the eyes on and eyes off ROF cap to 11.8
