Bonez Policies
April 30, 2024 - Pink Cup Tournament #4 Leaderboard Challenge Resolution
On April 30, 2024, it was brought to our attention, there appeared to be manipulation of match outcomes by intentional loss from suspected same player accounts in order to boost 1 account up the leaderboards.
Zoombies Bonez as at April 30, 2024 did not outline a player conduct policy and therefore we take some responsibility for not making clear, system enforced rules and player conduct rules the system does not restrict/enforce. We are using this occurrence to improve the collective experience and do not consider this a negative thing as the resolution is simple and fair.
In the spirit of sportsmanship, to be fair to all parties, we have determined it is best to subtract all match points from suspected colluded accounts based on the data from the pvp win/lose pattern.
We have spoken with all the impacted players and everyone has been supportive and cooperative without ill intent and we thank them all as we continue to make improvements as the system grows.
The following is the information we have available to make this decision.

4 points = Win from existing opponent
5 new opponent wins = 10x5 = -50
22 x 4 = -88
10 x 4 = -40
10 x 4 = -40
15 x 4 = -60
