When 2 players have the same ranking, who will be the winner ?

When players end up with the same amount of points, they will be ranked based on the following rules:

1. Number of full scores
2. Number of toto scores
3. Number of questions correct

If these numbers are also the same, then you’ll have to think of something (flip a coin ??, divide the prize money).

I have an extension plugin that also shows the individual components in the ranking from which the score is build up. In the event that you have a tie, you can enable that plugin to show the exact numbers.

Thank you very much for your fast reply!

I have another question: Is there a possibility to show Date and Hour at the ranking page (list of winners) and this way we could choose the winner based on who got the points first?

Could you please give me some directions how we can make that possible?

Thank you very much in advance!

It should be doable by querying the scorehistory table for earliest score date when the max score was reached. Because that table stores all rankings/points over time.

Basically, this is also shown in the statistics page when you have the charts enabled. If you visit that page (“/statistics” when default slug is used) as an anonymous user (not logged in), the page will show charts of the top 5 players. And one of the charts shows the progress of points over time. The line that reaches the max points first, is the winner.

If you do not have the SQL & PHP knowledge to develop something that will show the date/time automatically, you may consider just opening an incognito browser and taking a screenshot of the beforementioned chart and pasting that on the ranking page.
