Weekly Contest Question
Comments

Hi @Carol-38 thanks for that, I am in sixth position in my race, and all of the placed players have over seventy levels so I won't be catching them in the time left
As the reward is just a colour bomb for second and third I don't feel the need to compete anymore to be honest.
The first position in my race has 120 levels which is just too many for me to comprehend.

Yes that is correct @Carol-38 because I finished sixth in my Weekly Contest I didn't get the first prize.
It is increasingly clear that the Weekly Contest is an individual contest and not an actual contest. That is, you weren't even in my Race last last week, so I am included in your Race as a 'marker'. It is the same in my Race, the people shown (Kim & Larissa) were first and second in my race, but could be in any position in their race.

@Andres-2 Today I received the updated weekly race, what I see as unfair are the prizes for 2nd and 3rd place, they only receive a color bomb
Thanks for the information Andres. It's interesting to see how people's games change. I have had the new Weekly Contest for a few weeks now, and I must admit I am baffled by the change to the rewards for second and third places. I can't imagine what King were thinking by not differentiating between these positions. Obviously the discrepancy between the rewards for first and the other positions would make me think that the aim of the change is to get more people to pay to obtain first place. I honestly can't think of another reason to make the rewards for second third so poor otherwise.
Power Pops came to my game after it disappeared a long time ago let's see how long this feature lasts.
Another interesting change Andres as me and a lot of other people lost their Power Pops over two weeks ago. It seems like they have removed the feature from people that have had it for awhile just to deliver it to other people.

I find it counter-motivating to have such measly rewards for 2nd and 3rd place. I play PVZ2 and the rewards are differentiate for top 10. Very motivating. The Sam’s streak is equally pathetic. Such stingy rewards it’s laughable. Top 10 positions should get differentiated rewards. Playing so hard for one chocolate bomb is just pointless and de-motivating.

@boonavite I totally agree with you. We are all used to watching different kinds of competitions and events and we are all used to seeing different levels of rewards being provided for the top three positions. Tennis, Grand Prix, golf, the Olympics to name just a few, the top three people always receive a differentiated level of reward.
When the reward you receive for coming anything but first is so poor and identical then there is really no point in trying to better your position.
It is only my opinion and maybe there is something going on that I don't understand, but the changes really to point towards King encouraging people to pay their way to the best rewards.
