Re: URGENT: Finalist from Italy - Visa Priority Process Started (Action Required by April 8th)
@Lynsday_rebecca I don't know if I should attempt to answer your actual question as I don't want to give you false hope.
First of all the rules state that to be eligible to play in All Stars you need to be 'normally resident' in one of the participating countries. Obviously you are a resident of Italy, so this qualifies you to play.
The rest of the wording of the rules is all about proof of identity and travel documents, which you seem to already have understood as you are applying for the correct travel documents.
You should note that as an Ivory Coast passport holder you will need proof of Italian residency as your passport classes you as an Ivorian citizen.
The tricky bit is the 8th April section of the rules
6.3.2. strictly by 8 April 2026, both the Participant and their Guest must hold a valid identity document with at least six months’ validity as of 1 May 2026. This may include a passport, driver’s licence, national identity card, and any required visa or other government authorisation needed to travel to and attend the Live Final;
On the face of it the wording 'strictly by 8th April… and any required visa needed for travel' would seem to exclude you from the competition.
I don't think it is as simple as that though due in part to the complexity of the rules.
You will receive a contact form at the end of the Final Knockouts Round 3
6.3.1. they must complete an in-game contact form for themselves. This form requires first name, last name, phone number, email address, and address, as well as answers to additional questions about the Live Final and confirmation that they meet the eligibility requirements set out in section 3.1. The form must be completed between the end of the Tournament and the deadline notified by King in writing. Completing the in-game contact form is required in order to take part in the Live Final;
The form though just asks for basic information and confirmation that you are an eligible participant and no mention of travel status.
This bit of the rules is what gives me hope that people like you that need to apply for a visa have a bit longer than the 8th April
6.3.3. they and their Guest (if applicable) must be eligible and available to travel to London, United Kingdom within the period of 3-6 June 2026 inclusive (the “Live Final Period”), including meeting any visa and vaccination requirements;
That wording would seem to imply that as long as you have all your travel documents in place before the 3rd of June you should be okay.
As I said please don't take anything I have said as binding as only King can answer your question with accuracy and accountability, but I very much doubt they will give you a straight answer.
Re: awarded an extra 10x, but i dont see it
The pop-up you saw is only a reminder that you still have tokens to use. The initial six tokens are the only tokens players will receive throughout the tournament.
Disadvantages of being at a higher level during the all stars
I am so turned off with the way the all stars is set up that I am considering to stop playing the game. Im all about fairness and the fact that im on level 16093 shows my loyalty to the game. So to find out it puts me at a disadvantage when it comes to all stars was very disappointing. Their should have been a multiplier added internally that even out the fairness of passing a difficult level opposed to someone on a much lower level. Had I know this issue I would have opened a new acct and started from the beginning.
why use muliple devices
How and why would you use multiple devices? how does this increase your score? I have made it to the the final knockouts, hopefully I will keep on going. Also I have never been asked to watch ads to receive gifts. Any advice is very appreciated. I did finally figure out to keep retrying levels if I don't win on first try, until the offer is 45 extra moves and a bonus. This usually results in 20 minutes of helps for the next level. I have played for years but took a few years off and this is my first time trying the All Stars.
Re: First past the post leaderboard dynamics and analysis
The one token I used I used for three minutes. Know why?
Re: The Eureka moment
I agree with you on the wording issue in all the explanations and terms and conditions, which I had also noted and drawn the same conclusion as you.
I'm not so sure we are so far apart in our views here at all, they can both co-exist and mostly overlap. I see that I cannot really explain very well what it is I am now pretty convinced about. To me the video tape recorder theory now explains everything that I've been trying to figure out about Candy Crush over the past year since the AI took over running the game. It just all suddenly makes sense.
Re: URGENT: Finalist from Italy - Visa Priority Process Started (Action Required by April 8th)
Hi @christinewupp,
Thank you for your reply. I apologize if my previous message was unclear; I am well aware that the tournament is still ongoing and that I have 3 more rounds to complete. I used the word "finalist" as a general term regarding the requirements for those who will eventually reach that stage.
My concern is specifically about the "small print" in the Terms & Conditions (Section 6.3.2), which states that participants must hold a valid visa "strictly by 8 April 2026". Since the final round ends on that exact day, many of us are confused: how can someone already hold a visa if they haven't been officially invited or vetted yet? I wanted to understand if this rule is a "hard deadline" or if the visa process actually starts AFTER the final players are confirmed on April 8th.
I have seen other players as confused as I am on this topic, so any official clarification would be greatly appreciated! Good luck to everyone for the next rounds.
