Greetings!
I'm currently in a daily tourney in which 1 person advances to the next round. Due to a tie in the round of 8, we ended up with 5 players, which were then sorted into 2 groups (of 2 and 3), instead of a clean final 4, since 4 is the max per group.
So how does 3rd place get chosen? Is there a loser's bracket in this situation,or are we sorted based on performance in other categories?
Thanks for clarifications, I'm curious what to look forward to (I'm on track to come in 2nd in the 3-person group, lol).

Assuming the round only has one player in each group, then 3rd will end up going to the highest scoring player overall in the event from that round I think.

Hmm. So that would actually benefit me, since I've already scored 2 points from the 3rd person in my group, whereas whoever loses in the group of 2 wouldn't have the chance to score as many points. Stinks for that person! I guess in a simple format it's hard to avoid being unfair sometimes.
