@winkwink maybe you should just try to get a comfortable lead one hour before the event ends instead of trying to battle until the last minute, the reshuffling seems to occur within an hour before the ticker ends. Any of the others in your group who tries to steal a lead on your during this 60 minute is also likely to be reshuffled out too, so he will also take a huge risk if he attempts it.
@toolow my experience of minimizing this ad freeze (but still happened to me once during the last event) is to wait about 3-5 seconds, press the play button only ONCE, and wait for the ad to load and play. Pressing the play button rapidly before the ad plays will always freeze for me. It seems that Rovio changed the sequence of the ad loading during the recent updates in order to fix the ad loading issue. My observation was based on the fact that for the GPM, the play button now grey out for quite some time before enabling it, and when I press play, the ad immediately plays (I guess the greyed out period is the time it takes to preload the ad first). The problem with the event ad is that there is no greyed-out/pre-loading period, so if you press the play too soon and the ad has not yet been buffered in, it will freeze if it does not load within the first few seconds (command time-out), or if you press again too soon (command overload). At least this is my hypothesis, you can try it during the next event and let me know if it works
