Hello all,

Got the ace system couple months ago and I freaking love it. I'm also ecstatic that they changed the leaderboard to show it was from holster, or low ready or whatever.

I'm not focusing on that, I'm focusing on me, getting better, and beating my own times. Thats all that matters at the end of the day.

BUT! I have noticed the top of the leaderboards are kind of crazy. There are frequently the same people, over and over, at the top of the scoreboard with completely fictitious HF. Like places 11-50 are separated by tenths of a HF, then the spread in the top 10 is like 3 whole points. Often the gap between the top 1, or top 2 and 3, is a whole entire digit! Not a hundredth, not a tenth, whole number increase lol.

Some of them ive thought about and it seems could be legit, but those ones have everyone in the top 10 with similar times.

There are examples where its physically impossible to get such a high score. Ive see everyone have like 15 HF, then the number 1 spot has a HF of like 52. Its crazy!

Its such obvious bullshit, I wish the team could like verify somehow that it wasnt bs. These dudes are cheating to get the highest scores. I dont get it, why would you cheat this game, stage after stage, just to fuck the high scores up? And theyre not even real, you cannot physically shoot that fast, like whats the point.

There are several names that pop up over and over and over, theyre chronic cheaters, wish they'd get taken off the leaderboard.

Thats my rant, please dont hate. I know, "dont worry about them, focus on yourself". And I do. But its kinda fun to see how you stack up against others, and to know that the top of that leaderboard is probably bullshit is kind of disappointing, lol.

Fairly new competitor here, only been to a few so far.

Ive a question about power factor, and how its verified in competition.

I know most in open class run major, and use their own special ammo. I vaguely know they chrono your ammo at a bigger competition, but how does that work, do you show them all the ammo youre going to use and they pull one at random?

Idk how much of an advantage it would be, but couldnt someone just chrono some major PF ammo then switch to weak loads during the actual match?

Like I said I dont think it'll give you a huge advantage since the guns are so raced out and hella ported, but at the highest levels every little bit counts.

Has anyone ever been caught doing this? Or are there people that have been caught cheating in other ways?

Compared with some old timers recently that have been gm's since like the 90s apparently, got me thinking about these big comps and money on the line. Like the bass fishing competition with the lead weights in the fish, has anyone ever been caught trying to game this sport in any way? Thanks
