Edit: Corrected 2nd and 3rd positions.

many thanks for another excellent tourney!

Yes, thanks for all the effort put into this!

I've been reading CoL Tournament Policy and i am not sure, if the results are actually correct. I applied all 3 tie-breaking rules in the row for top 3. However, to me it seems that it is applied until one player is left. For other positions, the same 3 rules are repeated from the beginning instead of continuing from the step resolved the winner. That would mean that Manuel is of course winner by step I:

Head-to-Head. Tally the number of losses of each tied player from all games played with any other tied players. The players with the fewest total head-to-head losses stay in contention. All other players are out of contention.

Instead of continuing to step II, it seems to me that now the step I is repeated for Trossell and Heiner, which leads them swapping positions, since Trossell won Heiner.

Is this the latest known CoL policy:

http://www.meccg.net/netherlands/meccg/ ... uncil.html

Anyone?

To me it seems that indeed rules requires repeating all 3 steps when resolving multiple ties. It says

Those leading participants removed from contention are relegated to the tier of runners-up (and possibly could face another series of tie-breaking criteria-see below)

and

If multiple players are tied in a lower tier, the previously mentioned guidelines also apply. Replace the concept of players tied with the most points with players tied with the same number of points.

refering to the 3-step algorithm given.

Afaik you did it correctly. At least 1, 2 and 3 are definately correct due to the direct comparison.
