Anyone else see cheating in the competition?

I saw the #1 player come out of the blue to get first place in our bracket after I spent hours and hours playing against what I assumed are honest players. Today this person gained 1M in a matter of an hour or two on top of them going straight to #1.

There are a couple reasons this can happen. 1. If the player goes offline, sometimes to sneak up unnoticed, they can load their score later, that's well within the rules. 2. You will have to really watch and record their scoring, people usually score at a certain rate. So if they're playing, scoring 120k an hour then go offline for 2 hours, come back with 240k points. That's normal. They come back with 1.2 million points in 2 hours.....not normal. You have to watch though and notice exactly when they pause scoring to track this. I haven't met anyone that can legitimately score over 200k an hour, let alone 600k. And yes there's a way to do it apparently but it results in banning eventually. Players always look for new ways to break the rules

I went back to check my scoring from the final final. I legitimately scored 230k/hr several periods. I didn't maintain that but for a few hours. So 250k maybe, really only way to see if something is amiss is by tracking someone's scoring rate and see if there are drastic sudden changes. 150k going to 500k an hour then back to 150k being an example.
