Weekly contest

Question

On the weekly contest Why do I always get paired with new players,who play 100 games in the 1st couple of days. I am on game 8800 which are a lot more difficult. It's not fair!

it’s very frustrating I’m on level 17300 and I’m up against players on level 200 impossible to win.

Thanks. This week I have only played 29 games. I usually play 15 a day. My number 1 opponent has played 196! Think I will stop playing for a while.

Hello @Foxton I am afraid that these answers you got there are just standard cut and paste answers from King and completely out of date. The weekly race was changed a few weeks ago to a version where we all get new players every week. It's how King have changed it and the difficulty is determined by King in the same way that they determine the difficulty of all other events. It's tailor made bespoke difficulty. Those players are not as real as they appear. They are either recordings, bots or players employed by King. Either way the event is fixed so that we all have to work hard to get onto the podium. Those of us who play 200 levels per week get opponents who play 400. Those of us who have not played at all the previous week get opponents who only pass 10 or 20 in one week. ALL of these are new players in all of our games. I hope this makes some sense. And no, King won't take note of your complaint and change it back. They will only change it back if they fail to make a profit with this new system.
