If two worlds tie, both will receive the better reward.
For example, if there are two worlds tied for 1st place, both will receive 1st place rewards. Then the next world would receive 3rd place, and so on.
What about servers who are now placed lower than they should be because of ties during the season?
For example, Anvil Rock (AR) and Ehmry Bay (EB). AR is going to end up placing 7th. EB is going to end up tying for 4th. AR beat EB 2 wins, 0 losses. Why is EB higher? Well, when the two tied on points (twice) during the season, ANet opted to place EB in the lower tier (giving them more points) while leaving AR in the higher tier (decreasing their points). As a result, AR is now ranked lower than the server they clearly beat.
- I will keep this simple we all had 8 weeks up to now to see how the system was playing out and the places were displayed weekly for the standings. So to complain about a systems you had 8 weeks to learn is not going to help now. Simply put we noticed on DR that it would be best to lose on week 8 for the best possible placement in week 9 because of how the system was laid out with the brackets and played the way it was most beneficial to us. It didn’t take much to do the math. and it is a 9 week tournament. You are placed where you are because of the simplest part…. you have less points.
