How does the leaderboard handle ties?
In the tournaments I participated in, ties were broken by giving the higher rank to the player who hit the score earlier. I witnessed this in a no-entry-fee event where two participants ended with equal scores, and the earlier scorer got the higher spot. The rules section of each tournament confirms the tiebreaker method, so there’s no ambiguity. This system encourages early aggressive play instead of waiting until the final minutes, which adds a strategic layer to the competition.
