When looking at scores from last game why do all the Champions have 1000 Topic wins?

The answer is... they don't. I think you must be looking at the numbers given in the list of Divisions, where the division you are in is based on the number of topics you have won in the past. However, the allocation to a specific division is also based on whether or not you have won in that topic before.

For example, I've just completed a game where, if the division split was based solely on the number of wins I have I should be in the division for players with between 160 and 999 wins. But I've won that particular topic before so I'm automatically included in the Champions division - it doesn't matter how many topics I've won in total, it only matters if I've won that specific topic before. So, all the "previous winners of that topic" are put together in a Champions' set irrespective of how many wins they have in other topics and to keep that set separate from all other divisions, it's arbitrarily given a number which can't be achieved in any other way - and that number is set at 1000. It's just a device to make sure the webserver can keep its sums apart.

Thank you for that explanation. I don't normally look at scores from last games but I was checking to see if I had completed a daily challenge.
