Agreed, I don't believe ranking above 1000 is possible unless you're either a casher or saved up a lot of rods. As a free player, I've been participating in every round of ABB, getting fever at least once each time, using the little bit of rods I have only on double day, and I'm at rank 877. I got kicked down to 1200 after the 1st double day so no doubt I'll get kicked down again. Your best bet is to join an alliance that's very active in ABB. Not only are they sure to win a lot of 1st places, but also get up to 30 rings each round for members joined.

Strategy-wise, there're lots of little tidbits that ABB calls for. I can make an essay out of it. The most important thing is to set up the board for quicker clearing when fever hits. And set up the board for super fever when you have fever. During fever, do a battle around the board so when super fever hits, it'll take another quick once around to clear. Fever pops 4 boxes and super fever pops 8. Each quadrant has 12 boxes. See the idea? Sometimes fever may pop 3 boxes and super fever 7, so it's good to pop a box in each quadrant beforehand to avoid spending precious time and bp to clear that lone box left on the board (and the AW). An ally that knows what's going on will do this for you. With this strategy, I can wipe 2 whole boards in 1 fever.
