Why have they reduced the number of winners in europe from 20,000 to 10,000
Because the European playing field is less competitive than USA and Japan. It's the same reason that Japan takes the top 50K instead of 20K.

Because way less people in Europe played it than Japan and the US. It worked out roughly 10% of people won in Japan and the US, but Europe was over 20%, so it got toned down accordingly.
Managed 15,000 points without items! Crazy round. I'm top 3,000 in the US with that so I wonder if it'll be enough come the end. There's no way I can beat it without items, anyway.
My highest score so far, no items used:
Pretty proud about that
I don't think I'll be improving it anytime soon, so here's hoping that will keep me in the first 20k thru the end.
I leveled up my team (the same as pretty much everyone's) to 5/6 and just kept playing until I got a good score. I can get consistently to 12/13k, but that was a lucky run I guess. I don't think there was that much of a bonus combo at the end, you just gotta focus.

Do you think we will have another update with 15 more stages after the Mega Blastoise?

I have a feeling that the next update is next week.
My score is 13,777, giving me a ranking of 4,799 on a total of 117,619 people on North American games. I hope I can slack off this time!

I am hoping to have a team of Level 7's by Sunday, I should easily rank 7000th place just having them.

21 or 130.
If it's playable in F2P like Shuffle, but I have a feeling it's going to be extremely p2w. If it's p2w, I won't bother and if Shuffle becomes p2w I'll probably quit too.
I'm hoping it will be at least as playable as Shuffle without spending any money... it's my understanding you pay for new explorable areas in the form of balloons, but I wonder if there's also some gameplay limit thing (like hearts in Shuffle) that forces "non-paying" players to play in short bursts. Do the balloons you buy expire once they're used or something?
Regardless, I'll be checking it out for sure.
I'll give it a try and hope its like Shuffle.
Maybe, unless it has really bad p2w philosophy.
Just barely beat my high score of 15,884 with 15,952. So tempted to use a Distortion Delay, but considering I have almost 6,700 coins, if I wait until the weekend, I should have enough to afford a Complexity -1.
Edit: HAHA, next attempt resulted in 17,569, bumping me to 1,541 out of 120k+.

Tried it with Pachirisu, Pikachu, Emolga, and Flaafy and ranked in the 50,000's. Emolga and Pachirisu almost look the same.
What stage have you finished up to?

Are you farming coins with Meowth?
I tried it a few times on the regular stage, but I don't seem to have much luck. I do play the Special version during the weekend & get around 1,000 to 1,500.
Edit: Unless I'm only able to get 100 + the 30 each time.

I'm stuck on Mega Glalie right now. I could go back and catch some better Pokemon though (Jolteon, Dedenne, etc.)
Use weaker pokemon and try to get a 4 match, you'll get 330 coins per. Sometimes it's hard so I just go for the 130, but yeah you can make coins really quick through mewoth.
Matching 5 coins gets you 580 I think, but that's a lot harder.

I'd be really surprised if 17.5k wasn't enough. It's a very good score without items, and casual players will either not try the contest again, not have good Pokémon, or not have enough coins to get anywhere near it.
I'll give a go. I'm a little skeptical though since I'm not a fan of RPGs.
Yes yes I'm aware of the irony. 
Ampharos and its mega stone is pretty much key to the mega blastoise stage. At least for me.
What is good advice for Sceptile's stage?
I've been a fan of the Rumble series since the first one on Wii, so I'll be there, I just hope it's as non-pay friendly as Shuffle or more.

Rumble isn't really an RPG. It's more of a brawler. You can't even level up your Pokemon (other than the NFC figures in Rumble U,) you just have to find and collect higher level ones to replace what you've been using. The only Pokemon customization in past Rumble games was the ability to buy new moves for them.

Y'all working on that Mega Blastoise meanwhile I'm just happy I finally caught Rotom and Lucario.
How far along with the main stages are you? If you've got some Grass and Electric types, you could try Mega Blastoise, check out your ranking, and then decide whether you have a chance

I'm sitting at 10,432th place with a score slightly higher than 12.6k
Trying to avoid using items unless I have at the very end. I missed out on Lucarionite because I overslept on the last day when I could have used items to boost my score. Not happening this time.

I'm not even sure you can :lol:
maaaaybe with super effective max level pokemon, and probably even then...
Just check in every day until you can throw everything at it.
And have Mega Gengar when you do.
Yay. 10 days of checking in. Now I should get 9,000 coins by Friday.
Ranked 2,114 out of 141k+. Maybe I won't need to spend those coins with my score of 17,569, but considering it seems we've got more participating, probably should still keep an eye on it to be safe.

I have 98000 coins without spending any money. 8D
I freely use them for exp boost against Mega Ampharos, and I guess I'm prepared for any event thrown at me.

No. Never waste a jewel to catch something. Just be patient.
17k - what level are your team!?
Mega Ampharos, Sceptile, Zapdos, & Raikou, all level 6. I think I just have to get lucky with the lay out because I usually get around 13 to 15k if I retry it.
Lv6 would make sense. I can't break 14k with all Lv5. There's a technique I'm missing - perhaps Mega Ampharos should be matched in a certain way or something.

Well, I saved up alllll week and finally had enough coins to stack so many items against Mega Mewtwo Y - ended up crushing him before he'd even broken out of the bind thing lol.
I guess after all the failed regular attempts and training my team facing him were really strong regularly.
Annnnnd now I'm stuck on Onix. :| This game....
