*** Please take note this is NOT a forum to complain about Leaderboard ****
We all know Leaderboard events take a lot of time, effort and lots of resources to maintain a top 5 position to get a permanent farm hand, however 5 days is just simply to long.
Personally I believe the event would be much more productive if it was lowered to 3 days, with having 3 chances to win!!
As of now we race for 5 straight exhausting days to win, then 2nd stage is for upgrade or to simply try again.
My proposal is to have 3 stages, 3 days each:
Stage 1 (3days) top 5 wins the permanent farm hand
Stage 2 (3days) gives a second chance to be top 5 to win permanent farm hand
Stage 3 (3days) going for the upgrade farm hand, if you won in either stage 1 or 2 or if needed a person could try for the 3rd time to be a top 5 winner for a permanent farm hand!!
I truly believe this will be more productive and make the event more enjoyable, rather than a stressful exhausting 5 straight days. This will also give opportunity for more players to have that extra farm hand, plus boost morale in the game!!
Players let’s do a survey and tell me what you think!! Additional ideas welcomed and please as stated, this is NOT for complaints or negativity, just face facts Leaderboard will not go away, but it can be better!
We all have busy lives and it’s hard to devote 5 straight days to and event!!
Moderators I’m tagging some of you as well, please give me your thoughts!!
Thank you everyone!! Let’s bring the fun back to the farm!!

Love your idea on leaderboard improvement. I agree that 5 days is just too long and I would welcome a shorter time frame and more chances to win a permanent hand. Three phases gives everyone more opportunity to win and would be far less overwhelming.
With the current week long per stage leaderboard event, I find it exhausting by the 4th day... And doing 2 stages of that is just too overwhelming! But since leaderboard events are here to stay, I’m for any and all improvements.
And I know a player who has played farmville 2 country escape since it first started. In recent years, she’s only interested in events that give permanent farmhands but leaderboard events stresses her out... she has mentioned that if the stages weren’t that long, then she would consider it.
So a 3 day stage and then 3 stages leaderboard event sounds absolutely perfect! Having 3 stages would give more chances at winning too! Hoping this will get implemented...
I’m really hoping our moderators will take this idea to the team!!
Apologies for the late response, Farmers. However, rest assured that your suggestions will be relayed to the team for review. Thanks and have a great day!

Could also take a page from the Boat Races and have fixed-point-total-based rewards; perhaps anyone who reached 10000 points (or such) could at least win a temporary (30 day) farmhand.
That way, even if you find yourself in a Group of Doom, you have an incentive to play at least up to a fixed total. As it is now? Look at what players are trying to sell on the boards: overrun with event items. There is a large segment of the playerbase which is actively disincentived to take part in leaderboard events at all; giving us all a reason to actually play can only increase participation.
