Then, at the end on the week, invariably, if My team manages 3rd or forth place, there will be three or four people on my team, that post that their team finished 2nd or third. Some of these, according to what I am shown, accumulated 35,000 points, while I accumulated 1.8 million points, with only 2 or three facilities. Makes no sense. I have talked to others with the same questions, that just won't play NC anymore.

Hi Garrysa,
You are not competing against your neighbors. You compete against other teams that are not your neighbors. Your neighbors do the same thing which is why they may be higher in their own contest group.

You get more points for your own team because your points are multiplied by the number of neighbors on your team.
Please read the Game Guide chapter 31 about the contest and it will explain what you are seeing:
