The most important feature is the clock in the center of the playfield. As long as there is time shown on the clock, indicated by the lit numbered insert, you will get another ball in the plunger lane. Because of this, the goal while you have more than 15-20 seconds is to plunge the center top lane and then drain as quickly as possible, this adds time to the clock and scores points.
When you are getting close to 0 time left, do anything possible to keep the ball alive and either make a lit center saucer or make the center top lane to add more time.
Plunge to the center top lane which adds 10 seconds to the clock in the center of the playfield
Clock

The clock stops when the switch in the outlanes, center saucer, or ball trough at the very bottom of the machine is triggered
