The ladder is still not working for me and has not been for some time. No matter which method I use my points are not added. I am not going to get too bothered about it as the points and coins have no value. There has always been a suggestion that this might change and we might be able to use them for something. Apart from the rather poor box game, there is absolutely nothing to do with them.

As I have said more than once on this thread, The Ladder has little importance, and the points have no value. But its existence still makes it intriguing. Users have said they are drawn to it to check their progress. That's fine - but when someone finds a 'loophole' which really isn't a loophole, but an opportunity to 'bend the rules' to gain extra points, is that important? To them it may be but The Ladder still doesn't have a purpose.
But just for fun at the 11th hour on New Year's Eve I've taken the leader to task as to who will come out on top when The Ladder is reset. Who's the betting on . . . .
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Did you read my post above dated December 31, 2014?
It's the end of the month again. I stand by what I have said a number of times before that the Ladder is irrelevant and unimportant, but tonight I couldn't believe what I was seeing from around 11.30pm.
The leader on the Ladder was repeatedly adding 5 points to their 'score' and in a short while found an extra 155 points. Remember, 5 points are only awarded for 'Ours' competitions. So how did they do it? By once more entering the 31 Daily Questions. Now that is naughty and against the rules. They have already gained those points each day during January - but it seems they again just had to use the 'loophole' as they did last month. That is sad. But whatever floats ya boat!
Clicking on competitions is not the only way to earn points - if points are so important..
With apparently no-one at the helm of the flagship Competitors Companion, we can no longer ask advice or make suggestions in the Forum and emails go unanswered. Such a pity.
Good comping everyone. We are all in it to win it!

Further to my earlier post.
I don't believe it!
Must lead the Ladder at all costs appears to be the motto. So because it is possible to enter all the January Daily Questions yet again this morning (Saturday) that is just what someone has done. Answering the same questions three times rather than just once and claiming the relevant points.
That is unbelievable and in my view pitiful.
But hey ho.

Hey, come on Roly, that's a bit rich when it was you who threw down the gauntlet as regards to winning the ladder race! 'at the 11th hour on New Year's Eve I've taken the leader to task as to who will come out on top when The Ladder is reset. Who's the betting on . . .' Do I detect a few sour grapes? I'm sure you'll come back with an acerbic reply, as you always do. (or maybe not, to prove a point)

Good afternoon Deborah. Nice of you to be the first, as I expected, to respond to my post. Do I really make acerbic replies? Well, I hadn't noticed although I always endeavour to be forthright! We have to enjoy life don't we?
Well you invited me to comment again, so let's see. If sour grapes means 'not to care for something one wants, but does not or cannot have'; then that certainly does not apply to me, because if I REALLY WANTED them all I needed to do was go for the points and re-enter the 31 daily competitions last night and again today. That would have put me way out in front yet again. Now to do that WOULD be sour grapes.
My actions and your words ‘threw down the gauntlet’ were aimed to somewhat embarrass the leader. Apparently that was to no avail as they’ve done it again. Am I surprised . . .?
Hey come on Deborah, I see you have copied and pasted my remark and emboldened the font but impishly omitted the first four words ‘’But just for fun’’. That’s a clever move to change the context.
Once again a reminder that clicking on competitions is not the only way to earn points so why would someone consider it a necessity to bend the rules? I don’t get it.
Deborah, I remember you saying, referring to this thread, as ‘’this is getting as serious as football’’, which reminds me it is Saturday afternoon and the footie is now on. How I wish my team could get some points and go top!
To close, I still maintain the practice described earlier is unbelievable and in my view pitiful.
Happy comping kevincharley and wishing you loads of wins!

Thought I would resurrect the longest thread on CC Forums. There has been no comment on here for four months. Anyone got anything to add?
I did notice again today (end of month) that the opportunity to pick some 'forbidden fruits' to boost Ladder Points was too much of a temptation for some.
It must be annoying, disappointing, sickening and upsetting to get so far but then only gain second and third spots despite making a special effort by entering daily questions again. Remember, users are asked not to answer more than once . . . or have I misread it?
Someone once said 'The Ladder has little importance, and the points have no value.'' I think that too!
