CumbriAndy May 2018 11:28am, 22 May 2018 1,263 posts	0 CumbriAndy I'm trying to play both and this is killing my Fetchpoint score - mostly because it's driving me to plan routes that are closer to home rather than heading out to plant Fetchpoint flowers. I've got a proper dilemma this week because my (Fetchpoint) neighbouring cyclist has just come out of hibernation and bagged a couple of traffic lights in squares I'd use to link other sequences. For me, scheduling isn't a problem - I always make up my daily route on the day and usually based on where today's bug is. The challenge is linking that bug clearout to squares that need visiting.

You get more points for beating better opponents (those with a higher score), so your score depends not only on how many wins you have, but the score of those who you beat. Those above you in the table must have been playing others with slightly higher scores.
