To everyone taking part in the final knockout stage

72 and most have stopped playing!! Any prize for playing without losing a life or level haha

Oh boy, what a board to get 😬.
Thanks for posting it @RogueSnape. How many on your board? Are you hanging in there?

This is my leaderboard. Mathematically impossible to catch up or keep up if you didn’t have 6 multipliers at start!
Tiago is currently in 2nd place and Ken is currently 1st place. Both were all stars last year and Ken was even part of the 2024 one.

mines up to 68

I am seeing 69 people right now.

Thanks @debtart, appreciate you taking the time to post. And your positive attitude is really refreshing 🥰. I presume you’ll hang on in there for another while?

Btw, how many players are on your board?

Hi,

Here is what my board looks like- I went in with no mulipliers because round 2 was a good run for my money! This is the first year I got this far and really happy to be playing. I started at 7:00am MST and I just stopped for a bit - I'm #35. Here's is what I did first I got the unlimited live - and truthfully I have not lost the life - YES i have been playing without losing a level! But I did buy some gold bars and on some tough level I had to buy the extra moves the most most moves I bought was 3 (5 moves=15). Oh and the game froze on me 4X I did record my playing so maybe after this support can help.

You would think that with winning every level and episode you think I would be up there in points - I do feel that there were a lot (maybe my imagine) of levels without blue candies. But all good and it has been fun!

Wishing all the best in the game!!!

Interesting. And only 65 on sweetcandyline’s board.
Are there still only 63 on yours, @jojocrusher?

And thanks for that, @MannyFae. Camimoss is certainly looking very strong at the moment but not out of reach with tokens I guess. The last few hours could be brutal.

Im in the same board. Theres only 67 people showing and the bottom people only have a couple hundred points.

Super. Thanks!

keep up posted….rooting for Nobody1. Don't Recall how many tokens they had but seems like a big hill to climb.

Hmm, maybe it really is him, and his post about changing his name was a double bluff 😳

Ben C is doing well.

Nobody1 is in 9th on 91k

Thank you, @MannyFae. I will keep an eye on both threads.

Same board as the one posted in another thread. Half of the board seems to have given up.

Thanks for checking in, @sweetcandyline. Crazy scoring. It sounds like on your board, and a couple of others that have been posted, a player has tried to blow everyone out of the water early on with their tokens. Hopefully it will settle down as players who haven’t many tokens start to lose hope and give up.
Good luck! 🤞

My leaderboard has 65 players but the scoring rate is ridiculous.

Think it contains the high scorer from last year and I was pretty much neck and neck across 2 hours before they used a token.

Leader played all 6 straight up and was on around 311,000 after the 3 hours so scored very well off them, which would put a score in the mid 500,000's as possible.

Key decider is likely to be who scores best when using multipliers with probably at least 300,000 required from 6 tokens.

I'm currently mid table but yet to play any of my 6 tokens so hard to compare.

I don't know whether there is normally a small drop off as people get tired but I am not able to look at the leaderboard too much as too busy playing.

Thanks so much, @jojocrusher. Wise of you to call it a day, I think. If you could post an update on your board, here or in the jother thread, before you switch off for the night, that would be great.

Ok, for the spectators, here is my board after 4.5 hours. I joined on the dot when it started (2pm BST) and played my one and only remaining token immediately. The board filled relatively slowly and after 30 mins had about 35 players, and currently is at 63. I believe that the leader has played all 6 tokens since the round started (I’ve been keeping an eye on their score). Also, Nobody1 is in this group, playing steadily and doesn’t appear to have played a token yet.

p.s. I don’t intend on crushing on, because it is futile. I had a manic last two hours on round 5 and had to use up the tokens to fight off second place, but that’s just the luck of the draw. Onwards and upwards!

I’lol defintely try to get a screenshot of mine when it’s over.

I will likely not have the bandwidth to do all 24 hours.

Will definitely do! Hopefully I will be the top one lol😅

I am perhaps the only one here @Nobody1 that has always said that there are more than ten leader boards during the final.

I have said from the start of All Stars that you can't begin with ten finalists and work backwards to work out anything as doing so makes too many assumptions.

The T&Cs don't imply that more than ten leader boards is unlikely they state that they think it is unlikely that there will be more than ten participants that don't have scores higher than everyone else. That is a subtle difference to what you think they mean, but a difference that means they aren't lying.

The T&Cs you mention have always been worded in a manner that allows for more than ten leader boards which is why I always thought that there was a chance that the rules should be taken literally.

That is, the rules essentially state that King can choose the top ten highest scores and that is what they have always said.

After the abuse Christine and I received in 2024 when answering All Stars posts I stopped pushing my thoughts and mostly stopped answering All Stars questions. People don't like it when you post things they disagree with when it comes to this competition.

Thanks and yes, you’re absolutely right @Nobody1. And this year’s contest has been such carnage that it wouldn’t be that much of a surprise to see it all go pear-shaped at the end too.

I did think about mentioning ‘all the leaderboards’ but I was trying to avoid a flood of posts asking ‘is it not just 10?’!

Good luck! Hope you have a good stack of sandwiches ready 😉

What did you mean when u say "unlike last year' ?

Nobody1

Thanks, teenybee, for doing this. I will try to submit mine.

It will be interesting to see how many leaderboards we see. If christinewupp was correct about there being a need to achieve a certain score (at least to come through with all tokens intact), there might be too many people who got through and more than 10 leaderboards. Really looking forward to seeing how it plays out.

While many have pointed out that the new terms and conditions allow for more than 10 leaderboards, which is true, I would like to point out that those same terms and conditions do at least try to imply that 10 leaderboards is expected, by using the word "unlikely":

"6.8 In the unlikely event that Stage 6 results in more than ten Participants who achieved the highest score in their respective Tournament Leaderboards, King in its sole discretion is entitled to award the Prize to only the top ten first place Participants who achieved the highest scores out of all of the relevant Participants."

So if they have been really planning all along to have more than 10 leaderboards, the above is really quite dishonest text on the part of King because of their use of the word "unlikely". It would be a direct lie on their part. So I'm hopeful that somehow there really are only 10 leaderboards and that they will take the top person from each leaderboard this year, unlike last year. We shall see.
