Also to retell the info from the cheaters forum. I’d like to summarize my theory on how this works.

This is not an exploit, a bug, or cheating, but an understanding of how lineups are created. I have tested this on 3 different games and different levels and can confirm working every time.

The secret lies in understanding the method Rovio uses for creating lineups. When you complete a weekly round and check to see if you succeeded in advancing, you signal the server to enter you into a new league. The trick here is to be patient.

I originally stumbled on the delayed start concept when I began a new game. I wasn’t far enough into the game to join the arena until late Thursday. I thought for sure I would be really behind since others would have had days to beef up their scores. However Rovio is really good about trying to keep the game fair by not joining you to a game where you would have the handicapped disadvantage. Soon I began to see others join my league, none of which had scores that indicated they had played earlier in the week.

It would appear that, by design, you can only join a league where you and the other players have an equal and fair chance at arriving at the same score. (assuming no other cheating methods of course) I decided to test this logic on my level 41 game and waited 30 hours before checking my scores so that I would loose an entire day’s worth of playing in the arena. As it turns out my league creation theory held and Rovio fairly placed me into a league containing all players with a 1 day handicap, which at the time was only me.

Others have confirmed the delayed start method which brought us to the idea of timing the league creation time for an ABN exclusive league. Naturally only 15 members per lineup so we can’t guarantee that we can all be in the same league if we have too many people joining, but it will be fun to try.
