Neighborhood Derby not resetting points

The details of the new derby feature say that the points will reset at the beginning of each new derby (so you always have a chance to win), but this doesn't appear to be the case. I did not score many points during the first derby, but I seem to be behind the '8-ball' for each subsequent derby. During this most recent one, I've completed 6 tasks, all with point totals between ~306 and the max of ~320 (haven't seen any higher than this since it started), but I'm in 6th place and 8300 points behind the leader (me at 4177, and the leader at 12510). How can I be ~8300 points behind the leader, when there's only been a few derbies???? What gives? I'm about to give up on this game, and I've put tons of time (and money) into building my Level 60 farm.

They points do get reset to zero with each new derby. The points you see is the total for each neighborhood. Probably the other neighborhoods have more active members, or are more consistently working on high-point tasks. Just because you're doing six 300+ point tasks per week doesn't mean that your neighbors are.
