Sorry, a typo. Now, instead of no in the last sentence.

Still not quite clear to me, either.

Last week I did not use power ups (we are speaking bronze league now), because there were only TWO players to be promoted to Silver, the first two of course, and I decided i wouldn’t be able to beat their scores even with costly PU-s, so I stayed in bronze.

No, the first FIVE will be promoted (as fourth, I have hopes:). Same league, different rules. How come?

Thank you, mm.

Unlike many of my coplayers, I do not think there are lots of cheaters out there. Admittedly, some of the scores this or that player reaches seems to be unbelievable at first sight, but then 1) it is Rovio that records them, it is not an uncovered cheque like here at the Nest, furthermore I myself had reached scores – pure chance and lots of attempts – that I found unimaginable before; and 2) maybe a few of them find the way to – for the sake of argument – get an unlimited amount of power-ups, that is cheating all right. But they still have to be smart, sometimes cunning and agile enough to reach top scores, do they not? For instance two or three weeks ago with these Egyptian-themed mummy thing, I spent a whole day finding out how to reach a top score in a given surrounding – with PU-s of course – and another half day with actually executing it. Some of them require much thought and more cunning this and nothing else is the reason for some really high scores, IMHO.

Thank you all, gentlemen.

1) I do not have a long-standing experience with the Tournament, but during my brief presence I saw that really good players did not engage the race on the first day. Quite the contrary: they tend to start playing on the last day, which is, from a sportsman’s POV quite logical: the less time remaining till the closing time of the given tournament the less chance for others to beat your highs. Three weeks ago, in glass league, I had been second on Saturday, and was seventh on Monday morning 7 am (two hours before opening the new tournament, central european time). The same occurred a week ago: Saturday evening I was first; Sunday evening, a couple of hours before opening the new one, I was fourth. Currently I am, on a Sunday early afternoon CET, first in the stone league. Let’s see what Sunday late evening or Monday early morning brings :)

2) Many of you gentlemen mentioned the possibility, indeed the (hypothethical) occurrence of cheating. I play on Samsung Galaxy Tab / android, and do not quite see how any kind of “cheating” is possible on this platform. (I hope the use of power ups does not qualify cheating, as Rovio is indeed – implicitly – encouraging their use in Tournament.)

Guys, could somebody please explain the rules or criteria of advancement in this new League Tournament? Eg. in ‘wood’ category, one must be fifth or higher to advance to stone, or something similar. I tried to find these rules (if they are written at all) but to no avail.

Thank you in advance.

Got it in the meantime but many thanks anyways.

PR-14 seems pretty impossible to me. The only one I have been unable to get. Any help from those who were?
