Hello @Tetem' your confirmation doesn't really mean anything and is directly contradictory to the reality that is shown in our games.
There may well be people out there in a group of players that do not receive opponents that are new, but none of them are posting
Everyone that posts in this forum is saying the same thing. 'Why am I am playing against nothing but new players.'
My Weekly Contest is filled each and every week by players whose Weekly Contest score equals their level attained in the game. That or they have played less than two hundred levels. Additionally every opponent in my Contest is from India.
When I first started this game as a new player I completed 203 levels in one week. As a 'Game Expert' you should understand that it is not possible to complete that many levels a week once you have completed 3500 levels or so. This means that the Weekly Contest is now skewed to new players.
Random should mean that I see players from different countries and different areas of the game map. The fact that I don't makes it evident that the distribution of opponents in the Weekly Contest is not random.
Furthermore far too many people have posted about this problem for anyone in authority to claim that there is any randomness involved and be believed when a player over level 6000 has nothing but new players all from the same country each and every week.

Hello @Tetem Please could you explain why two unrelated accounts see exactly the same players. They do use the same Wifi but are different accounts on different devices with different playing styles and at different levels. Kindly explain this to me. These screenshot are both taken this minute:

If my memory serves correct, do you remember asking this SAME TETEM over a week or two ago saying you've got a new account and within a week you completed 750 or so levels but the system managed to outsmart you and you were unable to get 1st place in the podium in weekly race ? How does the system new you could complete 750ish levels ? Did you get a reply to that ?

Hi everyone,
I’ve been following this thread and want to step in to clarify a few things.
The information shared by our Game Experts about how the Weekly Contest works is accurate and reflects what we've been given internally. That said, I also understand that it doesn’t always feel that way in practice, especially when you’re seeing repeat players or noticing patterns that seem far from random.
We absolutely want players to speak up when something feels off, and it’s clear from this discussion that there’s some confusion and frustration around how the matching works. That feedback is being noted and shared with the relevant teams again.
I also want to remind everyone that our Game Experts and Moderators are here to help. They don’t make decisions about how features are designed or implemented, but they do take time out of their day to support the community. Let’s make sure we keep the conversation respectful, even when we disagree ☺️
If you have more examples or screenshots that can help us push this further, please keep sharing. That kind of input is actually really valuable 🙏
Thanks for raising your concerns and for being part of the conversation.

I'm impressed @zeus77 ! Your memory is better than mine. I had forgotten that. No, I certainly never got an answer to that one. It still baffles me.

Thank you and I do appreciate that moderators and game experts are trying to help and can only tell us what they are being told and allowed to publish here. If I am certain that an answer is incorrect or not satisfactory then it is the source who is at fault, not the messenger. I get that, thank you. My apologies for making it sound otherwise.

Thank you for your input @QueenB
I really think you should remove the Game Expert title as it is very misleading. The game experts are no more experienced at the game than any other person here, but sometimes their answers makes it seem like they have personal contact with King. This kind of response from a person that has no more standing in this community than me or anyone else can easily mislead people.

No i don't have good Memory 🙈. While talking i stop midway and think what was i saying, even when we get timed boosters if I'm stuck on a level i forget I've got timed booster and try to pass that level without using boosters. Well that's me.
The reason I remember about your post is when I took break i managed to come in second place in weekly race. There was 20 points difference between me and 1st place. I went to sleep, the next day the 1st place player(no name just player) took over by 160 points. I call them possessed player, when I get closer to win them they get possessed and go vrooom 🏃♀️. I experienced something similar to yours so i remember.
Ps @Tetem' I've got nothing against you. If you feel I've offended you in any way I'm sorry.

Thank you both for your replies.
@christinewupp – I really appreciate you taking the time to share that message. It means a lot, and I know our mods and Game Experts will feel seen reading your words. We absolutely understand that players are here because they care, and your passion is never lost on us 🤗
@Alienscar – I hear you, and I want to clarify one point that may have been misunderstood. Our Game Experts are indeed King employees, and they’re part of the extended support team helping us out in the community. While they may not be involved in every development decision, their info is rooted in official guidance, and they’re here with the intent to help not mislead.
That said, I do appreciate the feedback. Titles like “Game Expert” are meant to show that someone is here to support and inform, not to create confusion or suggest superiority.
If ever something they’ve shared feels unclear or off, please keep doing what you’re already doing, raising your hand, asking questions, and helping us see things from a player’s point of view. That dialogue is how we improve 😃
I truly value your contributions to the community, and I hope we can keep building trust and clarity together 🤗

I haven't bothered checking mine for a long time as I've given up with it. Just checked, and mine are all players who started playing in 2025. So mine is randomised alright, but just from a list of new players 🤭
