Recently game in 5th in a auto tournament that was giving prizes out for top 4. What I'm curious about is how does the system determine the place you come in when you are tied? This tournament http://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?m ... ment_id=75 the last round was the finial 12 players. Myself and another player had same number of overall wins and last round wins. So how does the system determine he came in 4th and I came in 5th?

It judges based on how many rounds it took in each of your games to win. Since king diablo took significantly fewer rounds than you to win the games he eventually won, he was judged as having the superior record on tiebreaks.

Which, of course, is arbitrary, and another example of how poorly run these auto tourneys are.

Bollocks.

For those interested, I recently wrote a small essay on this subject. Anyone who wants to convince bigWham should be my guest.

Very well written. One of the reasons I'm no longer a mod is because I argued against poorly run autos to wham, but he basically threatened to axe me from team, because he was unwilling to listen. His way, or get out of the way.

Bollocks.
