So the new update made the threshold for horseshoe rewards 6000. I am a single derby player. I can only get to 3200 doing 10/320 tasks. Now I will only receive 4 rewards instead of 9. This is the main way to get permits and planks. But they say nothing and raise the score to 6k as if they are losing anything. It's just like limiting the amount of upgrade tools you could purchase to 80 a day without saying anything. This game is screwing us every way possible .

Maybe they want to encourage hoods of more than 1 person.

I am also a single derby player, though I have multiple support farms. If four thresholds turns out to be the max I might consider to stop playing. Puzzle pieces and permits, but also decos are in other thresholds. Not need to strive for all rewards if what you wrote doesn’t turn out to be a glitch. last derby by the way I did was after the update and I did get all nine thresholds with a total 3200 points. |

Same happened to me when my baby farm passed the level 18 needed to participate in derbies.
I didn’t realized that it was automatically participating in the next derby.
Do you have a baby farm in your single player hood?

Do you have a baby farm in your single player hood? Multiple, but I check weekly before derby start their status to make sure they are opted out. but maybe thread starter has also a babyfarm that’s opted in. |

I’m surprised that we have not heard from our regular members that are solo players. I will be playing solo this week and will see what I experience. The ability for solo players and small hoods to be able to reach the final threshold was a topic much discussed on the (now defunct) Official SC Forum. Players finally prevailed, even though a player would need to purchase the additional task with diamonds. I am not sure exactly when this happened, but at least 2-3 years ago or longer. Here is a link that provides you with more information about the points needed to reach all the thresholds: justhayday.boards.net/thread/38/legacy-derby-points-small-team |

I am in a small hood. Just my Sis and I. In the last derby it was mathematically impossible to reach the last goal. Just plain stupid, if you ask me. If it is not possible to reach it, then don't show it as an 'option', because it is not. It just shows 'someone' can't do simple math: 320x plus 320 multiplied with the amount of active players. X being the number of tasks possible without using diamonds for an extra task.

Last derby I did 9/9 320 point tasks for 2880 points
Did that quick enough to be 4th and couldn't be bothered to spend 10 diamonds on a 10th task
So this week I'm bumped down a league as the next several people after me did spend 10 diamonds
I don't mind, more chance of placing in a lower league so more reward potential
I can't say I noticed the 2 reward sections I didn't get other than the next one along was something like 45 points away from being unlocked

I'm playing solo this week, but won't start the derby until tomorrow night. Can someone also playing solo who has already started the derby please tell me the point value of the last horseshoe? Thanks!

Thanks! The last horse shoe is 3196 points. It’s the same as usual. If you do 10 tasks of 320 points, you’ll get all the rewards. I think 6000 points is when it’s a Power derby or maybe Mystery derby. This week is a bunny derby. If you start tomorrow, you’ll miss the first bunny. |

You won’t miss the first bunny, You just catch it later on. I start on Friday evening and get all 3 bunny’s in a row. There is always a change that you don’t finish top3 or top12 playing like that but that never happened to me. Got four days to prep my board. 😉

Good to hear from you;) |

There is always a change that you don’t finish top3 or top12 playing like that but that never happened to me. Got four days to prep my board. 😉 I didn’t know we could catch all three bunnies, later on in the week. I thought once the second bunny arrived, we could no longer catch the first bunny. I always do the derbies. Usually when it’s bunny derby, I finish bottom three and get demoted, because I’m the only one who catches all three bunnies. I find the rewards for catching the bunnies better than the rewards for finishing top three in the derby. Thanks for the info, I’ll know for next time. Even after playing for so many years, I’m still learning new things. |

Even after playing for so many years, I’m still learning new things. Glad that you know it now. For me there is also no need to place top3 anymore. The customization decos I have plenty of, the other rewards I can get with just wheating my fields in 10 minutes. For me the only reason to stay in CL and thus place top12 is to get the extra thresholds to get the puzzle 🧩 and permits. I don’t care for the blueprints anymore until I can spend them on other things besides the customization decos. |
