What are we supposed to do? To wait, until a task appears which suits us? Then finish it and wait for another? What's the advantage of the staggering? I don't get it when always 1 blossom task is available when the board changes.

Update:
I know my mistake. I have to be very quick when a blossom task appears. If I like it I take it if not, I delete it and wait for a better one. Then I have to be very quick again. But I think I got it now, thanks to my sister-in-law, I'm just speaking with her.

Haha, I staggered with 10sec interval, got a mining task. You can bearly finish that one in 10sec and delete the 350 task and select the next one. But I managed. Still in 1st place, one task to go and then I am done.

I am annoyed. I took the 10th task.it was a mining task, I completed it. No points, but my barn full with ore. Did the task again, lots of ore after I cleared my barn. Completed the task, no points, got a notification that the task was no longer valid? Timed out, time for task was over.....
Turned my iPad off, switch it on again and had 1/10 tasks available. Town this time completed that on, this time got the points rewarded and finished 1st in just over 4hr into the derby.
Over 200 ores wasted, over 75 mining tools wasted.
Anyway, fingers crossed for some nice deco placing top3.

Thx cowslips, that was the word I was looking for. 😉 The other word gave me hearts, so I wrote it again with a space. I wasn’t swearing.
On topic. In my personal overview I completed 12 320 tasks. 😂

I really disklike the Blossom Derby, not because of the Blossom tasks themselves but because very few other 320 tasks are offered. We're a team of 4 active right now, which means 2 Blossom tasks, that means 2 others are sitting idle all the time if we're only waiting on the Blossom tasks, because there's so few 320 pt tasks. We enjoy doing the Blossom tasks, as we're not a neighborhood that spends diamonds to constantly renew the board or quickly finish tasks, the derby lasts all week so if it takes us the whole time we're a-okay with that, but it would be nice to actually HAVE tasks that can be done while we're waiting our turn for the blossom tasks.

I agree with misspoufy. It was nice to give it a new try, but both my sister-in-law and myself are not very amused. I think it's too laborious. When we finish the derby it will be the last blossom derby for a while. But at least I learned now to handle it correctly, therefor I'm very thankful.

I much prefer to play blossom derby solo and just consider it like a normal derby. I trash a lot and I only do easy/fast blossom tasks. But I'm not in champions league so I'm not sure how it works there for solo players. I used to play in big NHs in champions league and I realised pretty fast that without a very good communication and coordination the blossom derby can be very messy (people sitting on tasks for days while others are waiting, people being shamed for taking non-blossom tasks etc.) So after I opted out from several derbys, I decided to just play on my own for a while and I enjoy it so far

Top3 is already done. But it’s the same with lower leagues.

Where we (or I?) struggle with the Blossom Derby is that different tasks are difficult depending on our levels and styles of play. I used to try to do all of our blossoms - we get 4 at a time - but for example, our first batch of four blossom tasks includes the Chilly Basket (which I loathe) and the beach house, which one of my good neighbors loathes! But we have just gotten so that we let each other know if there is a blossom we choose not to do. Then, there is the problem of keeping track of who has finished a blossom and who has not, so that we don’t trash a task someone has prepped for. And of course that has happened! As you might guess, this is a super slow derby type for us.

blackbritYes, I agree. The blossom derby is one which requires more time than other derbys and if you're don't playing solo you have to ensure a very good communication. But this sucks often due to the duties in RL. As I stated earlier, this time was a try to get more comfortable with it but there are to many inponderables to deal with. That's not something I like.

Opting out makes sense to me donkeyfan. It’s good you got to explore it a bit. But this is one where I, too, am often tempted to opt out!

And the horseshoe prices are good this time, I don’t even re-shuffle this time. Top3 is bonus, usually prices are not that good. But there is a change on a deco there.

Somebody from JHD offered me to buy miningtools at it’s farm. Not necessary, I get enough from wheating.
But I really appreciate the offer. You know who you are. 👍

For this derby 15 farms decided to play. We got 6 blossom tasks at once. We try to trash at intervals of 15 or 20 seconds to see if it's a keeper. We have 1 farm getting ready to do last task which is rice( newer farmer picked task). It has taken almost 2 days to complete the rice task. We put 1st letter of completed tasks in farm name so we can trash the completed tasks. Or change farm name to need rice. That has worked out for us. We also try to post last planting of rice that way we know 45 minutes for that task also cuts down 45 minutes each time. Those are some things we have been doing to cut down on the frustration this derby can be. Hope that helps someone. We are in 1st place by a huge lead right now. We don't all do 10th task so not sure if we will keep 1st place. But we play for the fun and extra prizes.

My "rewards" are not worth mentioning.... 3. column 1 puzzle 6. column 1 puzzle
I'm not very eager gathering puzzle pieces, I don't care for them.
Also vouchers, mining tools, things which are not interesting for me. Forgotten to say: Not one permit...

Thanks so much for the blossom derby tips on this thread. I had opted out of blossom derby this week, but it’s good to learn from the experience of others.

I don’t like the blossom derby but I don’t opt out. I just don’t do the blossom tasks. I take regular 320 tasks that I like. Most of our hood plays this way too. We are in champions league. We still get all reward columns. We don’t make 3rd place or higher, but that’s not important to us. As long as we get all the columns and don’t get demoted, we’re happy.
So, I just “opt-out” of the blossom part, but still play the derby. Works for us.

Well did the blossom derby and we have won but tasks were largely production or boats. Much trashing ensued. We will most likely opt out next time as although my prizes are not bad my hood mate’s are not great.

But in my opinion you have too much to delete due to the fact that NO- blossom tasks rarely have 320 points. That's very annoying and I don't like it when I'm mostly busy with deleting unwanted tasks instead playing them. But when you're comfotbable with it...all good.

This blossom derby has been the WORST!!! We have trashed nearly 600 tasks and I am the only one who has managed to complete the requisite number of derby tasks. The blossom tasks have been terrible and there's been no decent regular tasks either. I'm opting out on the next one. I really think Hay Day could do better with the tasks.
