However, I've not modified the Ranks yet, since players are having different opinion about using LastCSub as a tie-breaker rule.

I tend to agree with Ziti, when he mentions that paper players would be at a disadvantage since they might have to do paper-to-computer-to-paper-to-computer...over and over near the end of the testing period.

Lets wait for few more voices before we take a decision.


Lets not change the ranks for this test. We can start from next time if this works out.

Location: India		Thanks for all the feedback regarding the tie breaking rules.

Ziti had pointed out that the paper players have a disadvantage if we now use the last correct submission time as a tie breaker. Motris also suggested that it would not be a disadvantage if the tie breaker rules are announced before the test.

Going forward we will use the last correct submission for breaking ties between players.

However since we had not announced the rules prior to the Qixi event we will not change the rankings.
