He doesn't realize that 3-hour shield is essectially free - you get 50 HP for 400 points, if you so dearly need them - you shouldn't aim for the top, if you can't achieve 400 points - you never had any chance. Stop whining and start playing. Thanks to shields overall scores raised and I got 500 and 600 points awards.

I want and plan to finish in the top 15 without waking up at 5:00 a.m. and/or busting my butt during the tournament's final moments. I will finish the tournament with 100hp more than I spent.

Nemek wrote: There are a few 1200+ people who are shielded that I happened upon, so getting to 1400 was easier than expected.

I had a similar situation. I got to 800 and all I could find was players in the 700-800 range. We all feasted on each other never allowing any of us to break through the barrier. After about an hour of this, I quit. I never did see any players in the 900-1100 range.
