The one nice thing about those before is that they often came at the same time as super color bombs. And super color bombs actually tended to make those levels pretty easy to clear.

Just to add credence to what Christine said, last year I started quite late in stage 5, with only around 30 hours left. Unfortunately one of the best other players had over an hour jump on me, and was watching the leaderboard effectively. Every time I tried to catch up, that player would play to match my speed, so I never…

@morganleeoregon Sorry if anything I posted was misleading - I was prevented by King from participating in the All Stars at all this year, I'm afraid. I did make it to the 5th stage last year, but couldn't participate at all this year. I wonder if it was my mention of last year's placing that made you think I made it this…

If you're talking about the screen time, that's not in the game - it's in the device's generic app settings.

I'm pretty confused - everything I've seen has been quite clear that all 3 stages of the final knockouts required being in first place to move on, and also all the posts here indicated the same. Certainly the main set of rules online show that this is the case. Where is there anything indicating that the top 5 would get…

In fairness, @dragongrl81 might have a point. From leading by 600k to being behind by 600k is 1.2 million in those 6 hours, not 600k. So that's about the rate the best players score. Nothing wrong with that. But if they have been playing at that speed nonstop for much more than 24 hours straight, then there becomes…

But you're not losing your classification for not having more levels to advance. You're losing your classification because you're either unwilling or unable to use the Star Tournament levels to advance. Other players are good enough to use them to advance, so if you are good enough to win, you should be able to make them…

The Star Tournament levels are perfectly reasonable and, according to reports here, people have won through to the live final using them. It is true that they require a different strategy. If you are to win, you will need to almost always complete each level, since you need to average one level per 80 seconds or so. So the…

@cafettiere If we assume 180,000 purple candies per hour for the full 24 hours, that would be about 4.3 million points. @morganleeoregon has said that this should be sufficient to win, but I still have suspicion that 200,000 points per hour might be sustainable; in that case it would be more like 4.8 million points. In any…

Wow, you're right! Recognized it immediately! I honestly didn't remember any of them, but clearly this is a match. I will go back and edit my original post to correct this.
