PT is limited to a set percentage of players who can qualify.  The threshold climbs during the week.  Unless you have a great team its difficult to stay in PT.  But, dont give up trying.  

Trying to get into PT so my level does not get dumped from 3800+ down to 3200 at reset. Right now PT is at 3900.

Don't waste your time. We're all spoiled by the free wins in g5. Plat is where the real teams live. Enjoy watching your team do zero damage to their +4 krisk shielding their +4 duchess, as their +4 arb with 400 speed boosts their +4 

krama, for me it is very simple.  I only attack low power teams, the solo arbiters, lilutus, and all the mishmash.  It keeps me going.  

I can see the list of top players, it looks like they take the top 500 scores and make that Platinum, right now it starts at 3909.  Once I get enough coins I can get there. Nothing fancy, nothing special, just points.  My playing force is about 135k, and I started in Bronze.

Krama is right.  I used your strategy to take a bad team to G5.  I got into PT for a day and there are no easy battles.  I am usually near 3300 close to reset and I dont get dropped.  G5 this week is much easier than the last few weeks.  

OK Poly, fair enough but I just need to try it once and see how it is.  I get killed at night in many battles, but nobody hits me daytime lol.  Meantime I can get gold medals for GH.
