I have already asked the question but to date no answer : Why when playing the Regatta do we seem to be the only team playing (Tyrion's Choice) until the last few hours when suddenly other teams appear - what is the reasoning behind this

It depends what League you're in, how many players in your co-op are racing, and when a player takes a task to begin the race. That's a difficult question to answer without more information about how and when your co-op starts races.
When teams suddenly appears it means your co-op was matched and joined a racing bracket that was missing a spot. Usually it happens much earlier in the week though if you already took the 1st task and started racing.
If you're racing with a smaller amount of players in a lower league then it increases the chances you'll be racing alone especially if you don't take the first task right away.
For example: If you have 6 members racing in your co-op in copper league then you are matched with other co-ops with 6 members racing in copper league, but as the game ages there are less and less co-ops in bronze as they've moved up to steel or even golden. Unless more new players join the game, lower leagues will always be less competitive and active.
The majority of co-ops start immediately when the whistle blows, so all those 6 member teams racing in copper have already been matched which can potentially leave your co-op racing solo for a while.
Try taking the first task as soon as regatta starts and racing in higher leagues if you aren't already. If you are starting races immediately then there's a possibility it could be a bug if it happens every week. In that case I'd write a detailed report to support in-game.
We are in the Golden League - 23 players most of whom compete - we usually collect all the chests. We start racing as soon as possible - which is usually "on the dot". Will watch what happens this race and then report if necessary. Thank you for your response.
You're welcome. With that info I think your co-op is in a bracket where there aren't many teams racing with that specific number of players.
I think there's a lot less co-ops racing in a 15-25 member race because there are only 12 tasks available on the board.
Having more than 12-15 players racing makes it significantly more difficult to finish races quickly especially without using Tcash and a bad luck streak with 135 tasks.
For sure having less players or 25-30 players racing will put your group in a more competitive and active bracket.
If you increase the amount of people in your co-op and players that are racing then for sure you need players who are willing to drop a lot of Tcash to refresh tasks. More racers means more tasks and even more limited refreshing, and frustration with bad luck streaks especially if you're going all 135.
If you race with less players the races will be competitive as well, but with less frustrations as tasks will be much easier to get 135 tasks and complete them.
You can try reducing or increasing the amount of players racing depending on how your co-op is currently handling the tasks vs. player balance.
Thank you. With the new reserve, 30 members are left 2with so few options failure is inevitable without $$$
