What King should have done is give each player one token in each round. That is the only method that could have been fair to all. All Stars wasn't fair to all players but rules cannot be changed mid event. King need to learn the lesson from this and make the necessary changes next year.

The whole system of giving players all six tokens at the outset and telling them "use them wisely" was a huge mistake. If you are now suggesting that those who did use them wisely, meaning that they saved them all up for the last round, should get penalised compared to those who did not use them wisely, i.e. wasted them in the first two rounds when they were not needed, then I cannot follow any argument in favour of this being "fair" in any way. We worked so bloody hard to keep our tokens. I was up two whole nights crushing. If I had used tokens I could have done the same job in a couple of hours.

I am not sure what you mean by this.

Those of us who at this moment have six tokens have them because we scored over 100K in round 1/3 and over 200K in round 2/3, staying up all night and crushing like mad for long twelve hour periods. That was the only way to keep our tokens. I cannot see any scenario in which giving players who zoomed through the earlier rounds by using tokens an advantage over those who worked so hard to keep theirs could be fair.

Or do you mean this as a kind of "handicap" system like in golf to be used in coming years? In that case I would rather suggest getting rid of tokens altogether. They were a terrible idea and a huge failure that made all players suffer, including those who kept on to their tokens. I can assure you that round 2/3 was torture and ten times harder for me than it had been in 2025, due to having to catch up token use. Did you see my thread here:
