IMO, Rovio implemented ABF league play as a means to weed out the cheaters. Rovio loses money on their sole ownership of copyright as well as the honest players who cannot possibly compete with the cheaters. Any such “hack” software or plug-ins NOT approved by Rovio are a direct violation of international copyright. There are other illegal “boost” plug-ins available that make each bird much more powerful. This is how the cheaters get seemingly impossible high scores. But using the illegal plug-in on Firefox browser, you can use any combination of power ups or Wingmen unlimited. In normal LEGAL play you can only use two of the four power ups: Power Potion, King Sling, Scope, or Birdquake, plus only one Wingman per bird/shot. There is an illegal, third-party plug-in to the FireFox browser that allows the use of unlimited power ups. When I see the #1 player being greater than Star 15 or 20 it makes me wonder whether that achievement is legit. I would like to see league players all being close in level. The #1 player had a score more than 15,000 higher than #2. An example on one level during a past tourney, the #2 through #7 players all had scores within 1,000 points. If the #2 through #5 players in any particular level all have close scores yet the #1 player is significantly higher then their playing skills are questionable. In my opinion, it is simple enough to use statistics to eliminate cheaters. I guess they figure that if they have at least one level where they are not #1 then Rovio will not suspect cheating. Typically what I see is the #1 player owning five #1 spots and the remaining level being less than #5. I have reported suspected cheaters and only once have seen the leaderboard change. I am now first in my Diamond level League and have first in several levels. This past Monday I was busy doing other things and didn’t start the tournament until 6-8 hours after the start. I am usually right there to collect my coins, if Ive been lucky enough, and start the new tournament.
