The ranking was based, in order, on these three things: 1) Your # of wins. 2) The # of wins of people who you defeated. 3) The # of wins of people who defeated you. for foxx, these numbers are (1, 0, 2+1+1) for newb, these numbers are (1, 0, 2+2) for you (hoju), they are (1, 0, 2+1+1) As far as the rankings were concerned, you and foxx were equal. We didn't build in special considerations for people who received byes, since they would already be penalized for not winning over winners. Realistically, you didn't earn a berth in the elimination round anyway, considering how you went three rounds without a win, and could only scrape out a win against others who were equally unable to win.

You also said that I was ranked 38th, when the results show that I actually was ranked 36th, not that it matters since I eventually finished 9th. Actually, if you bump the people with byes below me, I would have made it past prelims based on ranking and the fact that two people dropped out. Btw, the only reason I'm not posting on the forum is because I never received an activation email for my username and thus cannot activate it.
