Weekly contest

Jack2767

In the weekly contest, it gives you rewards if you finish top evey week. Is this fixed? As my contest starts with people I am friends with, but when I get a couple of week streak, people who are not on my friends list join and are impossible to beat. See my screenshot below. It's either a weekly contest between my friends list or not! Why are these people added randomly? Are they added purely so you don't have to give rewards out? Would be great to know.

Both people above me, are people I don't know and have never seen before.

Hi and Welcome to the King Community

All players in the game are real players. All players do not play daily or are inactive for some periods, therefore they do not generate any points in team activities for example.

Some players haven't saved their game via Facebook or by creating a King account, these players appear in the game as 'Player' and with a random character from any of the King games.

In most of the events of this game you will find random friends who are not on your friends list but everyone is a player of this game. Since contestants selection is completely random, you cannot remove or skip them because the random process cannot be manually modified.

and This issues is being investigated here
