I suppose the possibility of hacking is there, but this to me is the most likely explanation. I found that those who have lousy connections also have higher scores, simply because shells fired at said lagging player tend to miss far more often then they should (even red shells I've seen miss and hit a wall). They also don't get bumped by other players as often either....so, lagging seems to be a bit of a bonus in this game :-P.
