Competitions getting cancelled?

[GoW Butters 0]

What's this new feature where competitions I'm entering keep getting cancelled? Is this a new update or something?

it will be because there is less than 10  people entering I think u need at least 10 to make a comp

Even so it's just ridiculous. As if it wasnt hard enough to get top 3 for the achievement it's now almost impossible.

Make that 2 in a row. This one had 18 participants? What's the point in cancelling? Some of us lower level players want to be able to compete and have a chance of winning which we have no chance against the higher level players.

Competitions are canceled when there are no 20 players registered.  You can beat these players over time, but you need to train and dedicate yourself.

ok sry my bad 20 not 10 lol but its still the reason they r cancelled

I'm happy to try and beat people but the fact it wont even let me try and beat people because there isnt enough to play against is just ridiculous.

Guess over time things went stail.  If u buy the premium will be able to co op comps hope over  20 tho.  So many people dont try due to same people winning they must make winning more random an way more unpredictable .  Key word Unpredictable thats what makes Fishing so great.   Irl open day trout fishing we are all excited of the unpredictable chance of catching fish. In my experience if u beat the same hole up by casting in the same spot over n over with same bait it gets old right?    Thats the key thing with the game .   Guess its called re spawning  fish should spawn in all different spots

@Devs, please consider removing this restriction of minimum participants applied. Two nights in a row waiting for an event that eventually got cancelled due to 18 and 19 participants... 
Why is this restriction even there in the first place - competitions where less than 20 people actually joining still counts - so what is the point?

Does it really matter if we are 5, 10 or 20+ people competing? Other than actually having a chance of winning a competition I see no real difference!

Thanks for a great game!
