Music Tournament: How it works explained

Hello. I have found that some people are confused by the long winded explanations by King about the rules and set-up of the Music Tournament. This is my thread to explain to everyone how the event works. Anyone is welcome to use this information in my absence during the later rounds to answer questions!

To win one of the grand first prizes you have to play and pass through another five rounds. (as of 27th September 2024)
Each stage gets harder than the previous stage to pass.
There will be 10 winners of the grand prize.
These are the five rounds:
- 1st Knockout (27th September)
- 2nd Knockout (4th October)
- " Finals" 1st Round (8th October)
- "Finals" 2nd Round (10th October)
- Finals Round 3 (12th October)
In each round the score of all players starts again at zero!

Each round there are many separate leaderboards playing at the same time. King do not want to disclose how many nor how many players are still in the competition. But we can calculate this ourselves by what QueenB has told us in the FAQs.
My rough calculations are:
1st Knockout Round (September 27th) : 10 million players ( 1 million leaderboards of 10 players each )
2nd Knockout Round (4th October) : 5 million players ( 250,000 leaderboards with 20 players each)
Finals Round 1 (8th October): 720,000 players (24,000 leaderboards with 30 players each)
Finals Round 2 (10th October): 24,000 players (600 leaderboards with 40 players each)
Final Round 3 (The True Final, October 12th): 600 players (10 leaderboards with with 60 players each)
So please be realistic about your chances of winning before spending lots of money in this competition!
Each round will get harder to win as the players left whom you will have to beat will get better with each round.
As a guide: To win one of the 10 grand prizes you will have to be the kind of player good enough to reach the 250 gold prize at the top of the Top That competition, so if you have never managed that you are unlikely to stand a change in this leaderboard competition. I reckon to win you will have to be able to play at least 30-45 new levels per hour.
(Please can anyone check my numbers and let me know if they are wrong before it's too late to edit them! )

This is the info I've been looking for. I need something to gauge off of to keep my practice up. I'm a slow player but Its not hard to pass a level. I like knowing if I can stand with the elites

Based on my calculations, there are 960,000 leaderboards for the first knockouts and 240,000 for the second knockouts. The total numbers of players are correct, with a rounding off, but the numbers of leaderboards do not match them.

Thanks! I've changed the figures, not even sure how I had arrived at such nonsense. I've rounded numbers up as according to King the numbers in the final rounds are an estimate and there will be players dropping out or disqualified for cheating between the rounds of course.

Well explained @christinewupp. Another money grabbing exercise. I wouldn't have bothered with it, even if I had got the contest.

On the September the 27 I didn’t saw any invitation to join that tournament. Please I would like to know how to participate.
Kindest regards

You might get the "second chance" round pop up in your game tomorrow. If it does not show up then there is nothing you can do to participate. We either get these events or we don't and there is nothing we can do about it.

I qualified for the 1st knockout. Going to see how far I can get in the music tournament.
