1hr ago we started the weekly contest and the guy on number 1 is at 67 there’s no way in hell you can do that many levels in 1 hour something its not right, mod game?

Hello @cesarhl time zones make a big difference to when features start and players in your Weekly Contest can be based anywhere in the world. The Weekly Contest resets at midnight on Sunday, but your midnight isn't the same as everyone else's. So someone in the UK would start their Weekly Contest five hours before someone in Washington DC.

That is one possible explanation another explanation is that King can't seem to be trusted to get leader board style events correct and for unknown reasons some people on a leader board are allocated unrealistic scores.

I thought the weekly contest was supposed to be competition among our friends?? Lately it’s all strangers and of course the person in the lead with ridiculous numbers is always a stranger. Go figure!

I don't have an answer to your problem @broganjd but you aren't the only person to complain about this issue, so I guess it must occur.

In my game the contestants are always people from my friends list, but even then some of them complete a ridiculous number of levels in a week.
