I'm not sure who got the yellow cap this week. Both are tied yet it's showing both conradicals and swogerino has the yellow cap on the leader board but not on the weekly round results.
Conradicals should has the yellow cap. In case of tie , it will be based on higher win points so in this case it will be conradicals with 6 because swogerino only has 5 so conradicals wins this round
Tie-breaking
In the event of points ties on a pool leaderboard, position is allocated on the basis of higher WP total, then higher MP total, then lower TDM. If scores are still tied after these criteria are applied, the players are adjudged to be tied. TDM is Total Distance from Margin: the sum of the differences between a player's margin predictions and the actual margins.
I thought it went by most correct scores first. That would make more sense to me perosnally.
I think that is Conradicals for this week so congrats to him.However my opinion on this since the Yellow Cap is awarded each week in case of a tie most exact scores for the round should be considered first as these are the most difficult results to find.
Yeah, I agree. I thought that was how it actually was. Should go by exact scores, then close results, then results.
I don't recall seeing Conradicals in that space before, what a nice way to jump into top 5, well done! 13 points for yellow cap, that's just a bit better than 2 weeks ago was 12.5 points for yellow cap or something.
Well he's up 13 places this round. I also moved up 13. Hopefully people don't get disheartend if they're at the bottom of the table because it can be turned round quite quickly. Didn't mole move up 25 places last week?
Wow, what a disaster round for me. I only got 1 point for those games. And because of that, I got the
wooden spoon.
I think this is my worst round so far.
I proudly share my results for Round 13. Lo and behold.
. We all get them.

Why complicate things? Superbru has its own algorithm and it will always supply a yellow cap winner and wooden spoon to us. We just wait until they are awarded and that is it. You can read those rules on who will be placed first in case of the tie on their site.
Here is a quote of the important stuff related to tie breaking:
Tie-breaking
If players have the same score total, rank is determined by the higher number of correct match outcomes predicted (right winner or draw regardless of score), then higher number of exact scores, higher number of close scores and finally lower total closeness. Note that it's not your total exact or close points that counts, it is how many instances of exact or close picks you have: so an exact counts as 1, not 3. Players still matching are tied for rank.
I thought he was just saying that's how it should be, not that's how we should award it here, but just to clarify I won't change it from what superbru use even though I agree that they should do it differently. It'll probably be fairly rare that users get ties anyway.
