Village Fair suspicious play

I am part of a co-op (Serenity Glade on US1) with about 20 active players, a couple of which are level 200+, and 5 more over level 100. In the Village Fair group of 39 co-ops that we are in, the top 6 ranking co-ops consist of one player except for one that has two additional members. All of these people are level 59 or below. One co-op is lead by someone at level 12, and another at level 17. We are in 8th place, and the top five have more than double our points. Now I understand that we are capable of making more points than we did this time, but we did get all of the cooperative hard work prizes, so we are actively playing. I also understand that someone could spend a lot of gold and seaweed to do well at this, even at low levels, but to have 6 similarly fashioned co-ops as I described at the top of the list and doing so much better than us seems incredulous to me. I have never seen this before, and I have checked out our competition in past contests. Further, with these same co-ops, I have seen three times where two of them have exactly the same number of points. Again, there are coincidences, but this also suspicious.
Admittedly, I have no direct evidence that these co-ops are cheating, but it is certainly suspicious to me. I thought about contacting support, but without definitive evidence, it's hard to make a case. Also, no report category seems appropriate, as this involves multiple accounts. I feel like the game developers/maintainers could look at the game play data for these six co-ops and see if there is a pattern of cheating. I have seen it before several times where someone in a contest I am in suddenly loses a majority of their points, so I believe they were caught at cheating and had their points taken away.
I hear at least one other co-op in our group is also frustrated with the situation, and they think they are being run by bots (again, I haven't heard any actual evidence for this, just observations).

They can see what boosters and what gold was spent and can check for suspicious behaviour
I agree, that would be very suspicious to have multiple coops with 1-2 players with very low farm levels that can have so many more points than larger co-op with many active members with more developed farms.
When you say that 2 of them have exactly the same # of points, it really sounds like they have discovered the same "trick" in the event using certain boosters &/or gold. There are so many boosters now in the game, it could be that they figured out the perfect pairing of something to gain that advantage & that it's intended by GGS. On the other hand, there have been loopholes that have been discovered & once GGS figured out what was happening, they've taken care of the loophole (and in at least 1 instance took back from players what they had gained by using it). The low level coops with the exact same # of high pts is what actually sounds the most suspicious to me.
