@rovionefuah — The introduction of players (“ghosts”) on multiple boards is equivalent to cheating by Rovio, and could be stopped by deleting the ghost player after the first week, which is not happening. The “ghost” players frequently end up in the top 3 spots of the league, and prevent honest players from advancing. In my opinion Rovio’s creating ghost players who end up cheating by “playing” in a lower league while the real player they are ghosting plays in a higher league is far worse than letting people play in a league by themselves.
The ghost players continue to play week after week using the score of the real player, but in a league determined by how they did in their own league. I’m sure that the ghost and real player start out in the same level leagues. However, if at the end of the first week the real player advances and the ghost player stays in the same league, in the second week the real player is competing in a higher league, where higher scores are possible, and the ghost player is “competing” in a lower league, but with a score obtained in the higher league of the real player.
