Tournaments in Monopoly GO are a great way to win dice rolls, sticker packs, cash, and event tokens, but competing against high-level players can make it tough to rank well. If you've ever found yourself in a bracket full of ultra-competitive opponents (those who score thousands of points), you're not alone. Thankfully, there are a few clever strategies you can use to improve your chances of being matched with lower-ranked players in Monopoly GO tournaments.

How to Get Low-Ranked Players in Monopoly GO Tournaments
One of the most effective ways to avoid high-level players is to skip a couple of tournaments entirely. If you consistently rank in the top 3 of tournaments, the game’s matchmaking system will start grouping you with similarly competitive players.
By skipping the next tournament or two, you sort of give your tournament history a "cooldown," which can result in being placed in a more relaxed bracket when you return. This method is especially useful if the upcoming tournament has lackluster rewards and isn’t worth the effort.
For this strategy, adjust your playstyle, whether by skipping, pacing yourself, or settling for lower ranks. This can “reset” the system and give you easier matchups in the future.
Another tested strategy is to join a tournament late, ideally during the final few hours, or even the last 10 to 15 minutes. Around this time, most of the high scorers have already secured their spots on the leaderboard, leaving the tournament pool with fewer active and competitive players. This can give you a huge advantage, especially if you use high dice multipliers to score a ton of points and climb up the ranks. You can easily secure top spots without the heavy grind this way.
Things To Keep in Mind Before Joining a Monopoly GO Tournament
Before you start playing any tournament, it’s worth considering how much the rewards matter to you. If there’s a tournament with exclusive or rare prizes (like a new Shield), then it might be worth competing at full force, even if that means facing tougher opponents. However, if the rewards are average or not particularly helpful to your current progress, use that opportunity to either sit out or join near the end. This way, you can improve your placement in future brackets.
Remember that Monopoly GO’s matchmaking system takes your past performance into account. If you’re always in the top 5, the system may recognize your competitive behavior and place you in more aggressive brackets, with equally competitive players.
