Good luck to everyone in the UFO tournament! Even though there isn't a big music season type prize, there still are bragging rights. Feel free to share your scores.

And in case you didn't know, there are 3 rounds. 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the final round get 20, 12 and 8 UFO boosters. Not a 6 round tourney like the Music Season was.

    Thanks for the info. 20,000 players each getting 20 UFOs is not huge, but the event could be fun and a nice test run for us to work out if we are good enough to win the big tournaments. Have the UFO shaped candies disappeared for you as well? Mine are just boring green candies now. As the Terms and Conditions for this one are short and sweet I don't think King will do much to weed out cheaters in this one. So everyone beware and give up if you find you are up against someone running away with it in the final round!

    I note they have started the event the same day as Don't feed the Troll popped up, making it a hard choice for anyone who would have preferred to join later on in the mega long first round. King do know all our tricks. Do I forego the benefits of beating the troll three times for the sake of getting an easier run in the qualifiers? Decisions, decisions…. 🤷‍♂️ I'll go for the Troll of course! So joined early and now have some catching up to do.

    My progress this morning. Playing at a leisurely and enjoyable pace with the main goal of making gold bars (CandyRoyale showed up, plus 4 episode races and one gold chocolate box, no gold spent but using up boosters I had)

    I make that roughly 130,000 points per hour, not my best, but then I was taking my time, e.g. watching ads for extra episode race gold, topped up my coffee, and the game hung up on me three times and I had to reload as well! Level 4273 the fishes kept zooming across the screen like madfish at the end after I 'd passed, so I had to quit and reload, (which cost me my win streak and super colour bomb but luckily was after Candy Royale had finished) and one ad hung up as well, black screen scenario. There are a lot of glitches at the moment and I miss the UFO candies.

    Alright my first round is pretty dead. I guess I'll have to wait until the next round to see if some people play. Curious to see how high a score pops up. But I guess part of my post was to remind people that the prize is very different this tourney. Would hate to see someone drop a ton on it thinking it's a do-over for music season. But still fun nonetheless, I enjoy these mini tournaments.

    The problem is there is never much interest here in the community in these mini tournaments and even the official thread has been taken off the top now. These mini tournaments are nice for us to work out our best possible scores but few people care about that and will either stop or slow down playing. You will find the community always goes to sleep after a big tournament. Also your header is not something that many people would recognise as relating to the UFO tournament. We're basically back in boring "where are my ads?" and "Why can't I connect?" territory in the community, but do hang around. Are you planning to participate in the next big one @pmin ?

    Good work Christine, I could get nowhere near the top player on my list.

    Oh well it is not over yet, but I do not think that I will catch up.😀

    Yeah I think the thread is still getting decent hits, I thought of putting UFO in the title but I didn't want to exclude discussion of past/future tournaments. Since I agree you can use mini tourneys to test scoring and practice for the Allstars 2025.

    And honestly I'm unsure if I'll be in it, really depends on how this situation you're already aware of plays out. Obviously I'm naturally good if I'm getting that high a final result, first go, while spending very little....so I would like to see how I could do, especially if I were to restart my account and attempt levels now that I know how they work (it would save me a lot of time). But...just dependent on this music tourney and how the outcome is handled.

    Geez, yeah casually playing I got to 700k and next in line was 130k, my group is asleep. But all you need is to qualify, so you're fine.

    Might start a tournament tips discussion. People were constantly accusing me of being a bot/cheat/whatever, then the ones that see I'm real ask me how I get my score without spending much at all. But there are tons of complaints too of people accusing 2 million type final scores of being bots too, which is a very doable score....I think if more people had an understanding of what scores are realistically possible, they wouldn't feel so cheated. Then again if people knew the top scoring rates, checked how they stack up against them and saw they were nowhere close.....they might not blindly spend as much money early on trying to win. Lol yeah the discussion might be doomed for deletion already.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
