Honestly, it doesn’t even matter that much how many scoops an individual can get. It’s all about having more people than your opponent in your bracket so that there are extra people to card down completely on the last day, run solos just to create cards for offense (destroying the opponent’s cards and shields), and interrupt any last-minute solos. And if you want fav or total, you additionally need to be at the upper end of your pistachio loop. If you’re not in the numeric majority in your bracket and everybody is playing, I don’t really see the point in even bothering to play it out.

Not to single you out plk because several posters have made similar comments, but I have to disagree. I currently have 3 of the top 6 medal winners for the season without belonging to BF, GGM or BoD. There are other strategies that can work.
