Try to figure out how fast you are and find someone who is about the same speed. Once you beat someone and are on the chain, you’ll be able to see who is ahead of you and you’ll be matched up with another person (designated by the yellow ?/?.) You’ll need to run that new matchup to hold an actual spot on the chain.
Now that there are many more people on the chain I’m not doing that. We needed to get people on when this first started to get it really growing.
