The later you join in the week (deadline is apparently 24 hours before closure) the less competitive it gets, yet it is never such that you can reach the top three easily: statistically there is always at least one xp-miner in the league who wins and at least two very ambitious learners who would like to win but land on spots 2-3. Still it is quite easy to stay away from the demotion zone.
I have started recently to join "weekend legs" i.e. go "public" on Friday afternoon or Saturday. You meet completely different people there, more casual, most do next to nothing Monday-Thursday, the selection of languages that people learn is more colorful than in "Monday" leagues.
So if you go private and keep working on lessons privately, and then go public later in the week, you would be placed in a different (presumably less competitive) league when you turn the public setting back on?
