The top 2 players would need to have used tokens. If they did, the scores are reasonable - even not very fast. I notice your screen doesn't even show tokens. Is that because you used them up in previous rounds?

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3505095#Comment_3505095 What are the scores you think are impossible? Can you show a screenshot? Remember the tokens do allow some pretty fast scoring.

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3505066#Comment_3505066 Yes. I played 3 episodes yesterday, but played them even later than you, so I got all 3 episode race rewards. I agree that it looks likely we will have to give up on the episode races for stage 5 (final knockout 2), unless we want to…

Oh wow, another thought that occurred to me - is it possible this is a variant of what they do for the episode races? Same thing - pause the person who would win long enough to give sufficient time for a person who plays hard enough to always win, then resume them if the actual player takes too long?

Interesting theory, Christine. So do you really think it is likely that this "VCR method" might continue into stage 4? I always figured the shenanigans would end beginning with stage 4, but I guess I can see the potential benefit for King to continue this that far, since this way anyone who is putting in a lot of effort…

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3504711#Comment_3504711 Wow, then that seems very unfair. I'm sorry you were treated that way.

Yes, I'm afraid that in order to get in through either of the second chance methods, you had to come in first for both rounds of that second chance. So I'm sorry to say that means you're out this year since you didn't win second chance 2 round 2 after winning second chance 2 round 1

Thank you so much, @QueenB. The behavior here is not at all a problem today, but really will make a big difference as to whether being competitive is possible two weeks from now. So I really hope they can sort this out by then!

Okay, this is worrisome. I decided I might try playing the Star Tournament this morning for a while just as practice and maybe to do some Baker's Boxes. I opened it up from the events tab and saw that the countdown timer said it would end at 8:55 AM EDT, just as it had done last week. Not ideal, since stage 6 ends at 9 AM…

For the record, I have not seen the supercharger since a week before All Stars started, since I haven't been skipping a week for new levels since then. And I haven't had Candy Royale in months. But I am at the end of the map; it will be interesting to see if I get them when the new levels open up. I think I score faster…
