how many nhs are competing?

Im just curious to know, without mentioning any nh names, how many nhs seem to actually be competing in your derby?
Has anyone come up against any obvious bot farm nhs or ones that posted zero points?

In our last derby it was close between us and 2nd place, close between 3rd and 4th but most of the other nhs only seemed to hit around 1000-3000 points in a 26 member nh.

So far this derby there are still a few on only a few hundred and 5th through to 13th are less than 3000 points and weve dropped a few members of ppl who arent playing anymore to be a 23 person nh.

It will be interesting to see, I think, if there seems to be an average number in each derby who participate or not.

Oh, our hood (29 members)'s derby has a 0-score hood. I was surprised until you mentioned bot, which could be the case, but the names in the hood look unlikely. Well, the race this time has quite high scores:

1st: 27696 (us)
2nd: 14479
3rd: 13739
4th: 10905
5th: 9634

I was told that in some races, the #1 has just about 3k pts. But in my race, #11 has 5152 pts and #12 has 2719 pts.

Must be very depending on the NB size.

Mine is just a small Family one - We are only three

atm. (4d17h left)
4 NBs has 1000+
1 NB with 500+
Rest below 500

Same Picture on the first Derby

In my hood's(30 Members) derby we only have 4/15 neighbourhoods competing. The rest are all at 0 still. Last time all 15 were competing. None of them seem to be bot farms- at least not by the names.

In the first Derby all 15 teams were competing. We won by around 8000 points with fierce competition for third place between 4 teams. Even the 15th team had good points and passed at least two horseshoe posts.

its a very different situation this time. We have got all our horseshoes (we are a very active and fun filled group). Second team has a couple, third appears frozen on 600 points and none of the remaining teams have any points at all.

i suspect this is a glitch resulting from the problems on Monday when the race board firstly failed to open, then showed our points, then they disappeared then teams seemed to shuffle. It's taken a bit of fun out of the race but I anticipate a bit more competition in the next race. Meantime we will put the champagne on ice for the second time. ������

We have 30 members.

In the first derby I think only the top 3-4 teams were competing. This derby we have 15 NHs, all have points on the board. The top 5-6 seem to be accumulating points, the rest not so much, though expect a surge in the next couple of days. We are currently in first place but two other teams are giving us a run for our money. I don't think we have any bot farms but there is one that has 5 or 6 members with very similar farm names

we have 20 in our NH with 2 completely inactive players and a couple that cannot play as often as some of us. Our third place team started with 25 players and now has 27. The first derby all the teams had similar starting members.

Up until this morning there was one NH in our derby with a zero score. They just hit the board a few hours ago.
oh! 2 person NH

In our derby

1. 23k (us)
2. 16k
3. 13k

Number 15 is 1k.
This derby is more global, last one was consisting of mostly English speaking Neighbourhoods.

#1 26123 (us, Arctic Valley, you want to be here, I have two openings, send PM!)
#2 13699
#3 12560
...
#15 315

I don't think this forum is going to get useful answer, though. Only a minority of people participate here, so you are pre-sellecting your answers for power players. There are probably many matchups out there where none of the neighborhoods are doing much. Only SC will know the real answer to this.

We're the only Nh doing the derby on our board. All 14 others are at zero. Don't know if it's a glitch, luck or a big surprise waiting to happen :-)
