Hi everyone!

Maybe this is a known issue, I'm not sure since I'm not a scorekeeper. If it isn't, then I guess my message should work as a headsup for others that could come up with this problem.

During our first WMCQ last weekend, we finished the swiss portion of the event and I asked our SK to print the final standings. He printed this:

If you look closely you will see that the standings are printed out of order. The tie breakers for players 2 through 4 are calculated correctly but they are shown in incorrect position. This did not change how WER did the pairings for the playoffs and we were lucky that it did not affect the play/draw decision in any game. Still, I would have liked to be aware of this bug since I never thought to verify the tie breakers were handled correctly.

If you have any clues as to why this happened I'd love to know.

Thanks!

Please don't link to images on sites like tinypic . com that include a ridiculous amount of ads and pop-ups. Imigur.com is a pretty good site for sharing images without obtrusive advertising, as is Dropbox.

Sorry about that, fixed the post with dropbox links.

Anyone has any info about this?

I believe a similar situation occurred at a PTQ this Sunday in Bridgewater, NJ. Match points were sorted correctly, but initial standings had tiebreakers either incorrectly sorted or calculated. Mike Noss or Sara Sukenik may be able to confirm this, and advise on the fix.
