Final Knockout round 1: You will have to come top of your leaderboard to progress to the next round.
It will last a total of 90 hours, so no player can play non-stop for the entire period. This means you WILL get overtaken while you rest. Those will be players who crush while you are asleep but there may be a chance to overtake them again when they sleep. Only you will know what score you are personally capable of.
We don't know yet how many players will be on each leaderboard, so there may be new players joining your group and playing fast to overtake you from behind. Don't cry "cheater" just because a player does this. A score of about 200,000 per hour is achievable by a good player.
Don't try to crush all out for too long. Rest is important and will help you crush better.
Don't spend money during the round. If you need boosters and gold to stay in the running, set your budget now and buy what you need now. Anyone spending money during the round is far too likely to get carried away and waste money on a hopeless cause. Don't!!!
I won't be taking part myself, but I have calculated that if I played for 10 hours per day I could score 5 million points during the next round. I am not the best or fastest player, so expect the winning scores to be more than that.

Hello @maggi2129 Yes only the first player gets through to the next round.
To answer the question about the leader on your leaderboard is difficult as you don't share their score. Obviously if they score faster than you then that may just be because they are a better player. As I stated elsewhere, as score of about 200,000 per hour is quite achievable. If they play 24 without stopping then that certainly is suspicious. But there is nothing you can do about it either way. If you find yourself with no chance then don't worry. Most of us will fail to get past this round. Just don't spend any money trying to keep up!

So, there are only 20 players per leaderboard, less than expected! All the players on each leaderboard are the same that were there from the start, with no players being added…. strange for a final knockout round. That would mean that anyone waiting until later to start playing might again be at an advantage because they would have to again be grouped with players starting to play later like themselves? I wonder what would happen if a player joins this round as late as a few hours from the end. I won't be able to find out since of course I logged in and played a few levels in all three of my test games.
Only 20 players per leaderboard….. strange…..I wonder how King will go about reducing this enormous field to just ten groups by round 3?

I am new to the All Stars. I don't understand how the leaderboards are picked. Can someone explain? I came in 2nd in the first round, 4th in the next round and then3rd. So qualified in all. Now in all those rounds I never saw any of the same names that I played with in the previous rounds, How does this work?? This last round seems to be impossible so I know I won't finish 1st. So all those other rounds I qualified in count for nothing and I get nothing, not even a stinking god bar??

There are three rounds of “Final Knockout” the second one and third start 6 hours after the previous round ends. They don’t state how many will be in each round, so the number in each group may increase from the present 20 person group to many more per group. I’m sure there is some mathematical or AI formula this will compute this all out. Best of Luck!

Quick question, are you watching Advertisements and achieving 200,000 in an hour? I’ve been playing and watching ads to add powers to each level, and I’m not a slouch by any means, and I’m not getting 200,000 in an hour. Sounds like I need to stop watching ads to stay competitive.
