Looking at your profile, that happened quite a few AC's ago, and trophies were determined differently then. I haven't actually played in any of those AC's, so I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think only the winners got actual trophies back then, and everyone else got a participation medal, regardless of rank.

Rank 2 buddy!
One of my stellar AC "skills" is, instead of clicking the mouse to successfully snatch the ball from an opponent, what I ACTUALLY manage to do is grab it then promptly fling it away again!
for me too!

Oh man... I'm using the keyboard controls and I usually switch to him in time to run in the completely wrong direction, leaving an open goal for the opponent to shoot into!
Then again, I'm currently only Rank 2 

I think what happens is that your scratch choices don't matter.
Each card you redeem will have six results no matter where you scratch on the card. So if it glitches you can try all over again, but will get the same order and same result even if you try different combinations.

Welcome to TDN! Food Club is a good thing to get into! I can make anywhere between 100k-600k a day! (Only on some days) playing that! 

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.

Hi! and welcome back.  Honestly, I would say most of us, at some point, took a hiatus from the game and have come back.  You have real life issues, or get bored, whatever, but eventually decide to check back.  Obviously, and luckily, you were "on again" enough to keep your account from being purged, so that's good.  As far as trying to save up for your Lab Map, make sure you have settings set to where you have Trudy's Surprise activated.  You spin the wheel every day (sort of like the wheel of slime- only WAY BETTER).  You get increasingly more NPs until you hit 100,000!  The catch is, you must spin it EVERY DAY or you will go back to the beginning and start again.  Make sure you play fashion fever too.  It is an easy way to collect 900 nps per day.  Again, welcome back.  If you need any help, every here on the forum is super helpful.

Glad your account was okay, I had go though some stuff to get an account back ended up getting it back, then finding out old old account info hidden in a box in my closet opps. So I switched accounts all around ~
 
Glad to also have you here on TDN! I recently joined myself, its a very cozy place ♥

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

Thanks for the tips and congrats!
Just gave it a go myself and stopped at just over 2,000 points. But looks like I'll have to wait awhile.
