Question about World Skills Rankings

[Quarry_Lane_Cougars]

There are 6 teams with a score of 144 in the World Skills Rankings. Shouldn’t they all be tied for 3rd place instead of being listed as 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and tied for 7th? How are the rankings determined?

The ties a broken in the same way they are at a tournament, as specified in the Game Appendix.



• For each Programming Skills Match, teams are awarded a score based on the above scoring rules.
• Teams will be ranked based on highest Programming Skills Match scores, with the team with the highest score being declared the Programming Skills Challenge Champion.
• In the case where two teams are tied for the highest score, the tie will be broken by looking at the next highest Programming Skills Match score for both teams, and so on, if necessary.
