Today my opponent and myself both scored the same amount of points. I am the one who has advanced to the next round. Does anyone know how these ties are decided?

The person listed higher on the bracket gets the win. Reply #1. Mar 03 10, 2:30 AM |

I think it's the person who plays first. Reply #2. Mar 03 10, 2:30 AM |

Ties are broken by the player who is listed first. In this case you where list first then your opponent. Reply #3. Mar 03 10, 2:30 AM |

I'm pretty sure that it is the first person to play who goes through to the next round. Reply #4. Mar 03 10, 2:30 AM |

It tells you on the page for your tournament, where that week's players are shown: "Ties go to the player listed first." Listed first, *not* who plays first. Reply #6. Mar 03 10, 8:19 AM |

Thanks very much, reading the small print has never been my forte. Reply #7. Mar 03 10, 8:06 PM |

Yes, in this particular game, it is who is listed first. Other games, it is who plays first, but since this is a daily, it is unfair to have those who play first win, certain parts of the world have a clear advantange.... So it is whoever happens to be randomly picked to be listed first. :-) Reply #8. Mar 04 10, 11:48 AM |

It would be great if this could be changed to allow the person with fewer knockout points to advance (and use position only when both have equal pts) - for the underdog to pull equal is a win in my eye. But then, that would probably be 100 times more effort than a cute solution for an extremely rare incident is worth :) Reply #9. Mar 04 10, 11:59 AM |

Not so rare as you might think. I came out on the short end in this situation once :) Reply #10. Mar 04 10, 1:26 PM |

I've been on both side of this issue, but the funny thing was when I lost because of I was the second in the bracket, my opponent was more upset about me losing than I was. Reply #11. Mar 06 10, 10:39 AM |

On a knockout game, we tied and I was on the lower bracket, so I lost, but I knew that I would be playing again. I always sign up on Mondays, unless I'm going out of town! Reply #12. Jun 04 10, 4:52 PM |

I've proposed a 'non-winners bracket' to keep players a little more interested through the week. Only non-winners from Round 1 would play in it for simplicity, and so that it wouldn't require more days than the winners bracket to play. Half-points could be awarded in the non-winners bracket, if there was a concern about 'differently earned' KO points, but I don't think that difference is necessary. The Finals winner in the lower bracket probably wouldn't get a bonus KO point, I suppose. I couldn't use the L-word (non-winners) here, evidently. Happy KO Trivia! Reply #13. Jun 04 10, 9:03 PM |

Hannah500 - You can subscribe to the Knockout Trivia Tourney, that way you won't have to sign up every Monday. Enjoy! Its my fav game on FT, but sometimes a long time between wins. Reply #14. Jun 04 10, 10:38 PM |
