According to e-mails I have received from Rovio after reporting cheaters and making complaints about the last minute cheaters:

1) Rovio uses an algorithm they recently developed to remove cheaters. “Once a League week changes we collect stats for level scores for 2-24 hours and then set score limits to remove cheaters. Those limits are then followed and readjusted during the week to get the best results.”
2) The tournament ends, Rovio time, Monday morning shortly after work starts. If no Rovio staff work the weekend the last minute cheaters are not caught. “However, as working is optional for us over the weekend, the cheaters often appear on Saturdays and Sundays if they know that there is no one to remove them. This is why we continue to work on the ban tool so that we wouldn’t need to remove the cheaters manually in the first place.”
3) I suggested they end the tournaments at a later time on Monday or some other day and they indicated that they are considering this. “With regards to your feedback, we are actually considering moving the Tournament rollover time a bit so that we would be able to better detect the cheaters during the last minutes of the tournament, too.”

Although there may be a legal issue for deleting cheaters that have actually purchased PUs as it would be a loss of money on their part, cheater or not. But I don’t understand why Rovio doesn’t put in their policy that identified cheaters will be dropped to a lower league. Let’s see a diamond star 15 cheater climb their way back from the wood league.
