You can continue in the Star Tournament (click the star past the rainbow) when you run out of levels. So you could have continued.

Sorry, no, it does not.

Wow, I didn't realize that. I assumed the time there would be queried from the server every time it was initially displayed and then incremented from there. Although in Windows you could probably still manipulate that, so maybe even that wouldn't work. Oh well, I guess you're right.

I'm not sure I have seen real proof of fraud yet, although I may have missed it in all these threads. It seems like, since the player cards have unreliable data and can't be trusted, the only actual real proof of fraud would be two screenshots of the same leaderboard some amount of time apart, with a score change that is…

If I remember right, last year you could play offline, but if you were offline you didn't get the 30x bonus for purple candies on new levels. So while it was possible to play offline, it should have been impossible to make a run at winning that way, since the scoring would be too low. I don't know if it is working that way…

Really impressive run, Alex. On most leaderboards you would have won. You should be proud of your results!

Some of the reports here sound like they really could be cheating if the stories are reliable. So for instance, if someone really did score 1.5 million in just 4 hours, that would seem to be cheating, since there has been no reliable method revealed here to score at a pace of nearly 400,000 per hour. But I haven't yet seen…

If there are 100 players per leaderboard, which is expected, there should be 1000 players left in the final stage.

This would actually be nice. Perhaps in future competitions, King could put mandatory cool down periods during All Stars after, say, each 18 hours of play. If they did it in a way that was fair to all, it could really make the tournament healthier without changing it that much and while still allowing King to make the…

If the top person there took 7 hours a day breaks, they would be scoring 6,747,000 ÷ 46 or about 147,000 per hour. A very reasonable pace, probably saving boosters and gold bars for the last stage. Definitely not anywhere near the highest scorer in this stage.
