Competition of Mayors - How is it possible?

How is it possible?
62405 points in less than 3 hours from the start of the competition.

Pretty incredible I admit and definitely would require a CC and luck. Most of the quick starts are from Asian markets I think the start time is more favorable for them. Ive seen this often In my leagues, every week after the first in fact, not quite this bad but high 40s & 50s after 8-10 hrs. They often top out and the winner still comes down to the luck involved in getting the best assignments.

The inescapable fact is this Contest is flawed in many ways and no fix seems to be in sight. While I know Credit Card gamers will always have an advantage, I saw one guy post that he spends $20 a week on this game (does he realize that is about $1,500 of annual income? Really for this game?) and I understand EA wants to keep these people happy but hey, I watch your ads give me a chance.
