(The only way I seem to be able to communicate is by editing my existing post. I got a fright at first as all our posts had disappeared. I thought my account got suspended but now I think that it is that the community is down as they still allow me to edit my post. All I see is the original posts and the original questions in Support but none of the answers. Hope it gets fixed soon! ) Now fixed but will keep in to explain later posts in this thread.
This is a change from last year: We can now see every player's player card and it's full of information, which seems to be more reliable now. I have two games left playing in the Winter Cup and just completed two games in the Gold Club event, which seems to be for those players who failed to make it in the Winter Cup. That's a total of 150 gold club players and 90 Winter Cup players. So much data to crunch through!
The questions I'd like to find out about are:
- Are some players at an advantage over others because they are playing at better level ranges?
- Is it safe and advisable to join a leaderboard late?
- Are players grouped completely randomly?
- How many new levels do we have to play to win?
- What is a plausible and achievable score?
Anyone who can help answer some of these questions and share an end of round leaderboard would be very helpful. I have noted down the starting and finishing levels of each player in my groups, so I can work out how many levels they played and from this work out the average score per level. I'm hoping this may help to answer Question no. 1.
Of course it's all preparation for All Stars, both to dispel the myths and to try find the best strategy to compete.
There may be some surprises.
