"Easy" RoC Wooden League Co-op Question

So I can play Township.  I'm level 104, have raced 16/135, and can prep extensively for a sadly extinct hopping.  I'm also in desperate need of tcash (thanks to the Gumball game and BSA...).  My question is, if I create a new co-op the Monday before RoC starts, will it still be entered into the RoC?  I've heard that you can do that, and that for an experienced player, it's virtually a guarantee of 100 tcash...

Any thoughts or input on this? 

And variation on the theme: if I start a new co-op, and then race one week, and then do the RoC, does anyone have any idea how much harder it might be?

All I know is I've got a long road to earn back the tcash the locusts have eaten, and I'm trying to take the path of least resistance when it comes to RoC.

I will say go ahead and try. You have a 50% chance of getting less compeitive opponents. And other than first prize. There is 2nd and 3rd prizes to be won too. There will bound to be a bunch of people who have the same thinking as you and are in high levels.

My tips:
1. Sleep at fix time
2. Delayed start (so you play lesser and used less resources)
3. Upgrade factories and islands.
4. Spread out use of boosters. It is a marathon of tasks. 

Lastly, fingers crossed, hope you can win. Solo racing is always easier for ROC.

I plan on playing solo for RoC. I know the tasks are going to be ones I can do, I can pick and choose tasks without trying to coordinate via a chat that's not working. Coops with players at different levels risk having the higher level players stuck with tough tasks, especially since the game doesn't care if players are opted in or out, everybody gets counted.

I try to get as far ahead as possible in order to scare the competition. I'm not sure if a delayed start will help or not. Probably will because you're only up against 6 teams not 14.

And just like hopping, you have to make sure you have a home coop to go back to once RoC is over.

I am tempted to try this with my level 51 town...how long of a delay is suggested for starting?

@Kami2020, after 12 hours. Anything longer is not possible for daily player of Township. I am hooked to the game. I need  to touch my factories and feed my cows. Once you have started on any tasks,  you will be grouped into competitions. And with tasks like trains, planes and feeding, it is really not easy to delay too long.

My wild imagination running (treat this as food for thoughts or just plain gibberish) :

Maybe, just maybe a steel league might be easier than a wooden leagues. No tons of people deciding on last minute to create a Co op and then dump the Co op after ROC.
