I have a question please......

Does sending players on other tasks preventthem taking part in a match? I dont want to try it yet since I am just starting the event. I could do with all characters earning amateur bucks while still playing matches :-)

Best I've found so far, no you can't have them do both, but so far they all have four hour tasks that gives four amateur bucks, and the cool down time is four hours, so there should be synergy there if you want it!

You can put your characters on any task you want and they will be able to play Tap Ball, even if they are busy doing another task.

I've been able to do both.

One other point to add, it doesn't matter if you get 3-1 or 4-0 to win. Best not to waste any resources and aim for the 3-1 to win.

Heads or tails for me has been working out like a normal coin toss would. Luck of the draw.

So you get the pay out whether you win Tap Ball 3-1 or 4-0? The same pay out?

Yep, same payout. Score doesn't matter, you just need to win.

Hmmm. So more Amateur Bucks as bonus if you upgrade the characters, but then, with a high star rating, will people avoid playing you? What do y'all think?

Has anyone seen or read about the payouts for winning matches? I'm sure they differ from your town to friends town to random town. I'm also curious about the bonuses and the payouts for wins, losses, and ties.

This is what i've seen so far.

Win: 10 bucks, 20 foams
Tie: 1 buck, ?? foams (think it was 1)
Loss: 1 buck, ?? foams (think it was 1)

Difficulty bonus on win:
4 bucks per each star, 2 bucks for 1/2 star
1 star - 4 bucks
1 1/2 - 6 bucks
2 stars - 8 bucks
2 1/2 - 10 bucks
3 stars - 12 bucks
3 1/2 stars - 14 bucks
4 stars - 16 bucks
4 1/2 stars - 18 bucks
5 stars - 20 bucks

??? foam (think it was 60)

I got the difficulty bonus whether I won or loss. I have only lost versus 5 star opponents, so I am not sure about other levels. Can anybody else confirm this?

I think it's going to turn into a freemium vs premium battle, but at least the losing player will still get a payout for the visit, so it still helps if you pick a neighbour you're sure to win against.

Once everyone catches up, it seems the player who starts the battle will have the advantage if they have "brain & nerves" though.

I'll edit the post, just in case I missed it. Most of my battles have been wins.
