Depends on your team, but if it's fairly decent, it can definitely be done, takes a lot of effort though. So as an update, after that fiasco earlier where I couldn't get any points because of whatever bug, I finally was able to score points again. However, I had company over yesterday for a Memorial weekend barbeque/pool party. By the time I logged back in I just did one giant push without shielding to end up wherever. Never shielded. Settled for 16th place with about 850 pts. My first time out of top 10 since before Season 1, thank you d3p for the no-scoring glitch. So yes, you can get 3* covers without shielding, just need to have thick skin as you push through the last few hours fighting/losing gaining 2 steps forward for every one back.

I have to test a theory someone else crafted - if you miss top 10/3 covers, next time you get a slightly easier bracket.
