Just passed you and I haven't collected all the 500 iso rewards from Greenland or done a single mission in Canada. Yeah rubberbanding is taking over. I haven't collected all the 500 ISO yet but I will do that at some point.

I've now moved up to about #400 in the main event. Before these submissions started (aka, when the last ones ended) I was #12. Despite what I've said, I've been playing this pretty hard, grinding the earlier subs down to 0 repeatedly. So I have no idea **** I'm doing wrong to wind up with such lousy scoring. I scored better last time around and still missed the 50k mark (but easily made top 300). I think this is the real reason that rubber banding is so frustrating to a lot of people -- because even if you know the rules and try to play by them where you end up is seemingly random.

I couldn't understand why all of the sudden missions were worth so few points (I'm doing much better in this event than the last one), but this explained it and now I'm riding the rubber banding wave like a champ. I'd like to know the best strategy for those final 12 hours, when we don't have subevents. Do those missions reset? Should you do them immediately or wait until later for the rubberbanding?
