it was fun being the leader for 2015 even if its just for 3 seconds i was front runner total score 2015 835450 yeah me ill take it
you are very good , luck!
lol
What is the deal with the red marks by names on the leader board,? I have a few but not all.
Apparently these players are in danger of not moving up to he next level unless they improve their scores. Sal9 found this nugget of information. The Green dingbats are assured of promotion. :-)
Not only are these players with red marks not advancing to the next league, they are actually demoted to the previous league because they lose enough rating to not qualify for the league they are currently in.
Those red arrows are only for you. If you finish your week next to a red arrow then you will move down a league. Click on your League Profile to get your League Rating. With a 409 League Rating, I have red arrows from #’s 30 thru 40. I have a green arrow next to #1 only. If I finish the weeks tourney at #1, I will move up a League. If I finish #30 or lower, I will move down a league. Each players red arrows are based upon that players League Rating. Finish between the arrows and you remain in the same league but your League Rating may change.
the top nine in my league have green arrows today and #39 last has no arrow so
Just some follow up on my prior posts.
the Red or green arrow next to your name only appears in the Bronze league and higher. so if you are red you will be moved down to next lower league. this only applies in the main screen not the individual level screens. even though you may see arrows in the other screens the main screen is the final say.
also sixth place is only +20 league points 1st lst place is +100 league points ,Lower than 20th and you start to loose points, if you dont play you loose points. i had 26th once and lost -40 league points , i am pretty sure if you are 40th you loose -100 league points.
the accuracy of the points is horrible at best –one week i won +20 league points and my league rating went from 506 to 556. the week prior i did not play and it said i gained +50 points in a 2 person league, but in reality had lost over -50 and had not played at all.
i feel that there is a decided advantage if you play on Facebook, i only say that because of videos i see posted here , on mobile when you use BIRDQUAKE it has a completely different motion and result as opposed to using it on mobile. almost without fail all the highest scorers are from Facebook . the only way i can tell is because they all have personalized pictures – and that can only be done with hooking up with Facebook you cant put a personal pic on the app unless you are signed in w Facebook.
another thing that’s got me fired up is that people can change their names during the tournament so it seems as if you have new players but the pic is the same and they just changed their name..
also i notice that people are sandbagging in the league , letting the “little folks ” get our hopes up and playing one level, staying at bottom of boards the whole week , then on Sunday just going strait to top, its crazy..
Well enough of my whining …. off to fight some piggies
GTB
made it to diamond league , placed 12th and got no league points. league started at 30 players by end of week only 24. instead of a new league at the end of the rating bar there is a star with a one inside of it now. league rating for me now is 610 . i am following the advice of another post that i found on the site … i take Monday off and enter a league on Tuesday or Wednesday. I find by doing that most of the cheaters seem to be already in leagues…. also have found you can hook up with a friend without being a friend by joining the game at the same time ( as long as you are in the same league)…. good luck
GTB
Congratulations GANDELFTHEBUM, very well done.
Is going to take me at least another three weeks yo get up there.
Congratulations GANDELFTHEBUM, very well done.
Is going to take me at least another three weeks yo get up there. I might take our advice and start later in he week as well.
so you dont have withdrawals from not playing and so you can develop some strategies when you do complete a level , i will play and play until its just about to kill the last piggies then pause and restart , kind of fun and still lets you play but as soon as you complete one level you are put into a league so be careful… and of course dont use and power ups or they will be wasted … have fun!!
GTB
anyone have a clue as to what happened over night? I went to bed in the diamond league and woke up to no scores at all. Does not want to connect with Facebook either. Help..
I went to bed with a 23rd position (with one hour left in tourn), then woke up in 32nd final . got booted from Diamond league with a 25 point loss my league rating is 585 down from 610 , I had waited until THURSDAY to join a league– that did not seem to help…. thanks @dixi-60 for the encouragement, i think alot of people in the higher leagues sandbag until the last day then they crank up there scores , just to give the people who play all week a false sense of security. never had a full 40 league in diamond while i was there… the way they put us in to the leagues is very suspect at best… have a great week everyone!!
GTB
Had the same thing happen to me. I’m still in the Diamond League. I was in 10th place with 15 minutes left in the tournament. I checked again about one minute before the weekly contest ended. I was knocked down to 17th and the 7 people who came in ahead of me weren’t even in my league. I honestly think this league play is irritating to some people….cheaters get rewarded.
I think Rovio must just throw the diamond leagues together and then when people drop out they just smash 2 leagues together , i have never been in a diamond league that was full but the golds are always 40… , I wonder how many leagues are in play, there should be some type of way to follow it– its crazy how many people wait till the last minute to finish the last level . if you look at the scores on each level you can see what they are doing. in my league right now there are 7 people not completing the 6th level yet , but all other levels have been completed… so they are waiting till the last min to blow by others and not have to compete ..
thanks @hooksfan
GTB
Currently there are only 26 people in my league.
something happened tues AM. cause i made gold league so i took your advice too and waited till 12 mon-tue morning to start my tourney after my 6 scores were set i was in like 3rd trailing behind the top score by like 20000 took a break came back bout 5 am and i was in first place by a lil over 1000 so where the other two ahead of me ended up ??? who cares i am now in first by like 28000 go rovio!!!!!
@penguinpaw i am happy for you but wait till the end of the week to thank Rovio…. i dont think you will be happy… just speaking from my past experiences
good luck
GTB
Hi @xgandalfx – I’ve been reading the theories about leagues and am glad I’m not the only one frustrated by the lack of written documentation and transparency of process from Rovio. Before I get to my theory I wonder if you could explain what you called “sandbagging” and also how it benefits a player to complete 5 levels only and saving level 6 for the last day. I can see that hurts people who believe their rank is X but really is not because people aren’t finished. But how that helps the person holding out I can’t quite see. What if they aren’t successful within enough time?
Now for my bizarre theory. I often spend the first two hours trying to determine the three-star-threshold score. More often than not that requires me to TRY to score POORLY early on. If my score is climbing with little effort I am actively reversing that, making me look like a bad player. For several weeks I scored very high, very early and very easily. Then I tanked on purpose to nail down the threshold scores. When I returned later in the week I could not get anywhere NEAR my original high score, even with powerups. I’ve been wondering if there is some sort of anti-cheat algorithm – if your early scores skew low, you are limited in terms of how much you can “logically” improve. If you exceed that you might be cheating somehow so the game prevents you from unlikely wildly higher scores. (The GRE computerized test does this. If your first few questions in a row are all correct you are sent questions that will allow a much higher end score. If you answer an early easy question incorrectly, you’re not sent on the same path and are ultimately unable to make up the difference. Any thoughts?
Just read this. Did not know you get booted from diamond league. I’m at 9 this week, but no hopes to stay there, I’ve noticed some new players showing up today with a star #1 next to their names.
I tried to take your advice GANDALFTHEBUM
and wait till at least Tuesday. Was taking a few practice shots and wouldn’t you know it got all the pigs with the first bird so am stuck now. Lost 10 league points because I placed 26th in The Diamond league. 636 points now. Takes 700 to get a 1 in a star.
yeah , seems as that idea was a bust….
i like finding out what place gets you how many points, we should keep track of that , ( if it hasn’t already been done)
thanks @jaguar90
GTB
To me it looks like 100 points for a 1st place, 50 points for 2nd, but unsure of the rest.
Played a bit this morning. Came back to check where I was, when I left I was 5th in my League. When I came back 21st. What is up with the play??
+ 1 Every time I improve my score I get bumped down the pecking order. Looks like they are milking the situation
It seems to be good for them “Rovio” to have more people playing all week burning up the Bird Coins to get higher scores.
Has anyone noticed, that when just starting a new tournament, the first three birds are most potent with each level?
Just tried to enter my score on level 6 an was told it was too high.. I am 9th in my league with 254,980. I guess the 300,630 score guy in my league does not enter his scores
Are you using third party plugins or did you have a glitch score?
There are certain members on all our Leagues who have high scores due to third party plugins etc. If you ever get a very high score take a quick screen shot and post it – ABF’s have guidelines for games and I think there is an automatic response which prevents posting. I have inadvertently entered a very high score or added an extra zero or my keyboard hasn’t registered all the numbers – this feature highlights these accidents and prevents he score being added.
Send a message to Sal9 or AMslimfordy and enclose a screen shot. Sometimes they can help.
anyone know what is so special about this bouncy sling they just gave me ?????
Yes, it’s totally unpredictable! :-))
If anyone figures it out please post something here because that bouncy sling does different stuff every time I use it.
I’d like to try and gather the rating points you get for the Leagues so here’s what I’ve observed so far:
1st place: 100 points
2nd place: 50 points
Around 20th: 0 points
34th place: -35 points.
Also it appears that 10th place gives 10 rating points.
I would like confirmation of these numbers, and feel free to make additions.
BR :)
27th is minus 12 points.
GTB
6th place is 5 points and I think 7th is the same. I suspect 6-10 are five points each, but I wasn’t paying the most attention to exactly what slot I hit prior to this week. I’ll try to keep an eye and let you know in the future.
1st +100
2nd +50
3rd +30
4th +25
5th +20
6th +20
7th +15
8th +15
9th +10
10th +10
I’m in the Gold league and the top 15 players are advancing to the Diamond league so 11-15th get a few points as well.
Also don’t forget that the amount of rating each place gets you depends on how many players there are in your league. So the point system doesn’t stay the same in all cases. This is not meant to be a consistent guide.
That would make sense because I’m sure I came in 6th last week and I got 5 points. Any chance it is league (diamond vs. gold vs. glass, etc.) specific? Because I’ve hit the top ten the past couple weeks (lower top-10) and I’ve gotten 5 points each week. I’ll make a note of how I finish this week and exactly how many points I get. I’ll also note how many people are in my league.
Thank you :) I’ll also keep an eye open. It looks like I’ll finish top 15 this week (currently #5), so will update list accordingly.
Great! Thanks Guys @xgandalfx @martin-mix-9 @ fensterhoff
It not complete but so far this is how it looks:
1st: 100 pts
2nd: 50 pts
3rd: 30 pts
4th: 25 pts
5/6: 20 pts
7/8: 15 pts
9/10: 10 pts
11-15: 5 pts (?)
27: -12 pts
34: -35 pts
I’ll try to keep this updated as we get more information
And just got 15pts for a 7th, just as per the table :)
Just finished 35th and lost 40 points
Ended up being 39th and lost 80 points. Also 26th place and below lose points in the Diamond league:
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/fenster-hasselhoff/album/picture/13450/
Thx fensterhoff
40th is -100 pts :)
19th: 0 pts
I already know 16-25th place doesn’t get any points since I mentioned earlier that only the top 15 gain points and the bottom 15 lose points. For the first, I had 598 rating and the other time 602, so since the other players in the league had the same rating as me it only makes sense that the rest who didn’t have arrows next to their name will keep their rating score (0 points). Of course this only applies to a 30+ player league. Btw, today I placed 11th and scored +5 pts ;)
Got 30 pts for 4th:
1st: 100 pts
2nd: 50 pts
3/4: 30 pts
5/6: 20 pts
7/8: 15 pts
9/10: 10 pts
11-15: 5 pts (?)
16-25: 0 pts
27: -12 pts
34: -35 pts
35: -40
40: -100
FINAL RATINGS LIST (40 player):
1st: +100
2nd: +50

All the leagues rate points the same way.
I am wondering if you will loose your “Diamond ” sling if you drop out of diamond league??
Or if you get booted from gold league will you loose the bouncy sling?
Let everyone know if you do.
Thanks
GTB
No, you do not lose any of the slings no matter how many leagues you drop out from. Once you got them, they stay forever. I got both only when I advanced to the Diamond league though.
Does anyone know if the week of 2/23 tourney had an early change or something at would account for a crazy result, score-wise? There is a player in my league with a top score of 1,125,610 (that is correct, not 1,025,610) and he’s about a hundred-twenty thousand point ahead of 2nd place. I’ve never seen a disparity like this unless something weird happened with the scoring early. He’s ahead of everyone else in all six levels this week by about 20k in each levels not even like one level gave him an extra 100k, but rather he’s posting scores on each level that are better than anyone else is even approaching.
Apologies for the grammar on that post. I’ll do better proof-reading in the future.
Sounds like a cheater…
They say they can tell the cheaters by the scores. Wish they could remove them and put them all in one league for themselves.
@martin-mix-9, @dysted, @jaguar90…..
I am with you guys its just crazy, i dont think i will ever get to a 1 star rating with the cheaters…. i seriously would love to loose by 10 points, rather than by 200K , i am a decent player prob in the top 5% in the regular birds games , but this cheating is crazy i swear there is no way that some scores could be obtained unless they birdquaked everything to oblivion —and had all birds left for bonus….its insane
What got me is that some of these scores looked like they were beyond total destruction with all birds left . I doubt this guy was (he’s gone now) the only cheater in my league. He was far better than the others, though.
Funny you should say that………..
When I last wrote to Rovio that is exactly what I suggested. I also suggested someone puts up a special forum where they can log the cheat scores. It would be one way of isolating and identifying them and giving regular players a break.
This week I am right down the bottom of my Diamond League, barely cracking 35th yet on Angrybirdsnest I am about 76/163 which is about middle of the pack. Some weeks I rank higher 45/150 etc.
I don’t believe they know which scores are cheat scores even on Angrybirdsnest.
What Rovio should do is if you do not post scores here they are disallowed. The top guy in my league now has 100,000 over the top score posted on the leaderboard. 1,551,080. second place is another one. 1,539,550
I like the idea @jaguar90
cc: @birdleader
sal9 have you heard anything from Admin about them not allowing the SUPER high scores unless they post here?
cc: @sal9
@jaguar90 We have no control over this. It was only wishful thinking on my part. I really doubt that Rovio would even consider this idea.
Stupid question from a newbie.
Up above where we enter our scores, to the right is a flag (which I figured out when I accidentally hit trying to enter score), and then a star.
What does that star mean?
Thanks!
@rambleberry It’s a direct link to our walkthrough page for that level.
Oh, okay. Thanks @amslimfordy. Love finding useful things!
In the diamond League how are you able to get more ranking points, i was 14 th last week and got none at all. is it only the top three or so that accrue ranking points ?
P.S. Addicted to AB !
@sal9 are you in my league this week?
Leaderboard
Apparently so @hooksfan
SO
I am playing in a league of big time cheaters this week.. the main one is someone named TAZ , is A 6 STAR!… highest i have ever seen. he is not a facebook player ( i dont think since there is not a picture only the normal bird icon) he ( or she) is 30K above all the other cheaters …. they are all 200K above the normal players… i may crack my 1 star if i can get 5 pints I am at 599 …. i wont be playing for weeks i am also wondering how that effects your points… when i come back i will let you all know…. i think i lost 50 points a week last time i did not play…
good luck to all you nesters!!
Finally made it to Diamond level. Now to start going backwards. Again.
I see someone with a score of 268000+ on my fb friends league and everyone else is 100k less. This is level 5 on week 151. How is this possible?
@sal9 Seems to be a week that favors PC over mobile. On iPad my scores are terribly low this week. I’m embarrassed to even post scores yet! :) Do you know of any level this week that favors mobile before I attempt on PC? Thanks, Sal! –MB :)
@dseufert, I feel like that no matter what is favored. PC/Mac or other forms of Mobile all do better than I can on my Kindle. Welcome to my club. But I have fun, I just refuse to look at leaderboard scores, that would take my fun away. Quick. ;-)
@rambleberry and @tienshenlong my tries for the remaining hour worked and i got improved by a total 24k score in all levels i got EGGcellent scores and now i am satisfied by me and by all people who share strategies thnx to all especially to u two
Happy to help @thunderstruck. :)
Hi fellow Nester opponents, this is my first time participating in the Friends tournament ! Feels awesome that I am getting to be a part of this side of the community, though when I see insanely high scores that MUST have been reached by power-ups, I feel a bit deflated ^ ^. No need to reply to this, just wanted to announce to the Nest!! Btw I am only around rank 90-100 right now, and I completed all levels of the tournament. Is that TOO low??
Anyone besides me watching who is in your league? I just noticed the other day there were only 34 people in my Diamond league. Today there are 40 and the guy with the high score is gone. There is a new set of players today. When I got back into Diamond league there was a guy with a star 11 and one with a star 10. Now the Star 11 guy has poofed but the star 10 guy is still in my league. There is only one other star player in my league and he has a 1. What gives with all the moving? Any idea Sal9?
Am I the one with one ⭐️?
Toxicagent or paja1505
i worked very hard to stay outta of diamond first weeks were all cheater scores i can only imagine now but i am at 996 this week so its almost impossible to try and not move back up
Is it just me or is that spin the wheel a bit one-sided: I’ve only got wingmen so far? (Not a complaint but it would be nice to get some of the other stuff as well)
@dysted I also got 3 wingmen in a row. Seems like the prize you get is predetermined.
@angrychicken OK – it’s good to know i’m not alone with this. However, apparently it helps to complain, because just got a KS today :) But the Wheel looks silly with only two possible outcomes left on the Wheel ;)
@Sal9 I haven’t entered my scores in a while, since I always play on Android and it’s kind of a pain (phone’s fault, not ABNest’s fault, obviously), but tonight I entered them, and got them all entered, but when I tried to leave the last field, it wouldn’t let me do it. It finally did, but all of the values disappeared. Now it won’t let me enter them at all. P.S. it seems like the averages have become much higher in recent months. I’m in first place in my gold league, but below most averages. Just an observation…oh well…
I’m sorry. In my Diamond League this week the number 1 player “Samira” allegedly has 1,802 850 points for the week? Number 2 has 1,742,520 which is a reasonable amount above the current ABN leader at 1,727.110 but 80,000 above the best of ABN and 60,000 above the number 2? I’m astounded by the unmitigated gall of some people. We are all competitive here but what victory does one get by cheating? I don’t know how they do it from within a game (we aren’t talking just reporting scores) though I once saw a video on YouTube that showed a cheat program running. You held the mouse (or finger) over the bird after it lands and wherever you drag it you destroy debris until there is nothing left on screen. So clearly SOMEONE knows how to cheat. Is there an official thread here where Rovio reads about these or do we have to contact them directly? I’m happy to fix if this topic belongs elsewhere. I’m also getting sick of this being a topic of conversation. The bright spot? These people are obviously not HERE at ABN reporting bogus scores and for that I’m grateful.
All top points are gathered by cheaters. Shame on you, Rovio!
You mean “shame on you cheaters”? Rovio is doing what they can to weed them out. You can also report those cheaters directly to Rovio support … they’ll take care of them.
