I have an acquired brain injury and do not remember names/titles so my apologies for only being able to 'describe' things from time to time.
Each week there is a race to collect as many colour bombs as possible. Now usually, if I am not 'stuck' on a level or a section of the map, I win this race with about 6 to 8 thousand points. 10 points per colour bomb, one point if earned on a previous level. This weeks race though was over before it started.
During my morning play time while sucking back the coffee, I was vaulted into a new race, got my 50 points and was off and running. I failed my next level, then immediately won with my next life, earned 30 points and was shown the board. The leader was already at 30,000 points and counting! If that wasn't bad enough, he is OVER 80,000 thousand now.
How is that possible? If we are in races with people who are basically close to the same player level, or in the same vicinity on the map (about level 3500), how can someone earn 80,000 points? I have NEVER seen anyone get over 8,000 and many times I win with about 6,000. And 6,000 - 8,000 is a lot of playing and a lot of hard work at level 3500.
So, I am wondering if someone can please explain to me how 80,000 is achievable? Is this person playing way down on level 100 and miraculously covered hundreds of levels in the mere 5 minutes I was away completing one level as the race began??
Also, what is the advantage of playing in the big kids race when there is only a prize chest for the person in 1st? On the previous levels there is a gold, silver, and a bronze chest. Seems unfair to punish players for playing well. IMO
