The rules showed the first five people moved forward when it started so that's what I was basing the amount of playing I was doing on!! I didn't any change in that rule pop up or be clarified for me until tonight! I am more than capable getting that high I already did it at the start of it! Tonight I was over a million starts and would have reached the top if I had known to play longer earlier today! So I am complaining that this event is failing to inform people well enough! I think when you are dealing with 3 or 4 people who have purple stars collected so close in number it makes far more sense to let those top players continue to compete in those top 3 knockout rounds before the decision is made on who goes to California! I didn't know that I needed to play more than to be in the top 5 to qualify or I would have! I have never been to California and I needed this break! My health needed it not just my confidence boost in knowing that I am good at something other than writing! I have recorded with screenshots my history of playing them is All Stars and I will share it with those interested so that I can still get my story told and heard! There is definitely still a movie deal here in the works for the kind playing I'm doing, I still have my lucky egg after almost 2000 rounds so that alone is legendary on who the best are and how they get there!
In short I feel cheated out of being there because my screen shot of the rules doesn't mention a thing about the number of qualifiers for the knock out rounds only being 1, or I certainly would have continued to play and kept my number 1 position which I was already in when All Stars started! :/
