It usually takes a day or two.  Since it's late in the month I wouldn't worry too much about someone beating your score before it posts.

I also beat the score and didn't get a trophy or the prize :(

On other discussion boards the consensus seems to be that you had to actually hit the jackpot while it was higher than the BTY score, rather than just getting a high enough payout.

@perduco mentioned 250 spins.  I've heard there's a max number of spins, is it 250? or is that just how many you played?

@jatex Congrats to you too!  That score should get you in the gold :)

I'll wait a little longer and then just go with the consensus.  I haven't picked the winning team in quite awhile so I'll see if this works!

I got a gold in Great Desert Race.  It needed to be reviewed, but it finally went through :)

I had played a few days prior and hit the wrong button at one point and only got silver, but I decided to just go for it again and overshot the high-score by a ridiculous amount to ensure that I got it.

I'm going with Shenkuu again.  I only got a participant medal with them but I'm going for a trophy this time.

How many competition days are there for the Altador Cup?

I wanted a gold trophy for The Great Desert Race and I thought I'd share how it went in case anyone is interested.

I used the TDN guide for getting one player next to the exit and circling the other player back through the whirlwind and tug-o-war.

I started taking data at 1500 points and played to 2860 points.

Results for 1360 points earned:

30 loops total

Avg. time for 1 loop was 200 sec

Avg. points lost per loop was 11.5 points <--- so if you do a round and don't win the tug-o-war this is your loss or you gain 88.5 points with a win per round

My total game time start to finish was 4 hours.

Maybe this will help someone contemplating going for this trophy figure out if they have the time/inclination to do it.  I rate this game "Boring but doable!"

I challenged and beat Chadley for all 20 days!  I forgot the partner challenge for one of the days, but oh well.

Since there were three days I completed today, will I still get the Gold?

I did it I did it I did it!!!

This was the last game I needed to beat Chadley on to get a gold trophy!!!

My first ever gold for a Daily Dare :)

I used Angelo's tip and got 225 points and beat Chadley!  I'm a day late to the party, but whatever.  Now I've got to finish up Barf Boat and Assignment 53 and I'll walk away with the gold trophy.  Wish me luck!

You can't let King Roothless fall asleep (hence why you're whacking him with a yo-yo), so you have to hit him about once every 5-10 seconds to keep him awake. You'll get a warning when he's about to fall asleep by him snoring (if you have sound on) and by an exclamation point flashing over his head. 

Thanks!  That did the trick and I got 32 points :)

Is there a time limit on this game?  I keep losing when I still have yo-yo's left.

Ok people - help me out here:

How do I get past the first moving platform on level 2?  I lucked out one and made it to level three after that, but I can't do it again and lose all my lives there.

I'm posting this a bit late because TDN was down, but on Sunday I upgraded my Petpet Battles trophy to a Silver and then Monday I upgraded again to get a gold!

If anyone wants to know how to beat this game just let me know.  It's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it.

I made it to 134!

I was beginning to wonder if I could get this one because I made it to 113 and then didn't get close again for quite a few tries, but I'm 14/14 with Chadley so far :)

I'm happy so far.  This is the furthest I've made it while still on track for gold!  I can play all the rest of the games on the list at the beginning of this thread, but on a few of them I'm really hoping for low Chadley scores to beat.

I was happy  that Chadley's score was so low today.  A few years ago my sister showed me how to easily get 1000 NP for this game by getting to the start of level 4.  So this is actually a game I play most days.  After how much time and energy I put into beating Chadley yesterday I'm happy for the easy win today.

I've been trying this game on and off all day.  I had to take the keyboard from my brother's computer and put it on my mom's computer, but I finally got it about 10 minutes ago!  My mom's computer is faster and my brother is the only one in the house with a keyboard where the arrow keys are full sized.  My laptop had the shift key too close to the up arrow and after I accidentally restarted the game a few times so I knew it wouldn't fly.  That, and an embarrassing amount of attempts finally got me Chadley's score and I submitted 479 :)

Now I'm going to be that much more determined not to miss out on the gold...

I'll try that when I get back to it for the first few levels.  I'm not sure which level I got to, but I was really hustling by then but If I can boost my score a bit on the first ones maybe I can squeak by with a Chadley score.  I've beaten him every day so far so I don't want to give up now.  Especially on the weekend :)

I've been trying all morning and have gotten to 398.  I took a break and got on the high-scores table for two other games though!  I'll be trying again in an hour or so.  I think I can do it if I can stay focused enough.

People have mentioned returning the red and blue to the left - why is that?  Don't you want to get them all in the vats?  I tried that and they showed up again.

For anyone who doesn't know, 

Hitting the shift key will end your game immediately!

Yes - I found this out the hard way 

This game is so laggy for me I can't even get the ball down to the end of the lane :(

EDIT (30 minutes later):  

So I somehow managed to finish the first level by hitting the space bar, waiting 1 second and hitting it again without even seeing the meter move and get enough score to get to the second level.  On the second level I lucked out and switched the speed-up and slow-down lanes (lucky!) so I only had to make it to the power lane to get speeded up enough to hit the pins.  After that level there were enough speed lanes that I was able to get a few strikes in a row and make the score!  It never did get less laggy, I would still just hit space bar pause a second and hit it again.  I ended up with a score of 712 with a previous score of 18.

My previous score was 83 which is exactly Abby's score for today.  So I figured it wouldn't take much to beat Chadley.  I lost twice at right around 95 points, but then I re-read the guide and used the extra life on my third try.  Worked like a charm!  I got to 114 points so now I'm 9/9 with Chadley this year :)

When I checked out my highest score for this game it was less than 6,000 points.  So I assumed this would be a hard game.  I was wrong!  I followed the guide and beat Chadley on the first try :)
