Q. The Standing are not correct! What's going on?
58
59
A. The standings have been improved to account for players that have not play any matches.
60
The standings need to be updated manually in case more that two players are tied or if players with matching win percentages have not yet played each other.
61
Standings will be manually updated a few times a day. I don't have an exact time on that, it will be whenever Croutonman (Joe) has time.
62
63
Q. How will more 3 or more way ties be broken?
64
65
A. A 3 or more way tie will be broken by who ever has the best win percentage.
66
For example In Group 1, players 1, 2 and 3 are tied for the top spot. The tiebreaker will go to the player with
67
highest win percentage between these 3 players only. Whoever has the highest win percentage takes the top spot, then the second .
68
spot goes to the player with the better win percentage of the remaing players. In case there is still a tie amongst game win percentages, head to head records will be used.
69
70
Q. How will T16 playoff seeding work?
71
72
A. All group winners will be the 1-8 seeds and the second place group people will make up the 9-16 seeds.

Group winners and second place players will be seeded by Match Win % for each group. The next tiebreaker will be Game Win %, then head to head if needed.
