Captain_Judo: Yes, this payout was completed some time ago. I'm having our team review and pay what was missed.

Captain_Judo: Correct, what you mention is the normal procedure.

Captain_Judo: First, let me point out that a three-way tie for 2nd implies that 2nd, 3rd and 4th place are held by these three teams. The next available standing is 5th. I mention this because it can be a source of confusion as sometimes teams expect that the next available standing is 3rd when three teams are tied for 2nd.  
The third tie breaker rule states:Opponent Strength - final rank of opponents that have defeated your team
If I understand the example you're illustrating, Team B would get hit for losing to the team ranked #5 whereas the lowest rank the other teams lost to is rank #2.
Now that two teams are tied for 2nd place, we examine the head to head between Team A and Team C. So the final standing gives us:
2nd Place: Team C
3rd Place: Team A
4th Place: Team B

lord_farquad: Flying 7+ people out, is already extremely difficult, and has prevented our game from being used in some live events. So it's unlikely we'll be increasing the number of players per team.

lord_farquad: Everything is always up for debate... that's how you make sure you're always improving  
...some things are just shorter debates than others

lord_farquad: Think of the credits you spend while playing a tourney as a "buy-in." Tournaments are generally balanced so that we break even (and often lose out on it), if we were to provide accounts for every tourney, the prizes would be much, much lower. Not to mention, it's currently logistically impossible.

lord_farquad: No, we don't give gold for each win. Players are using special accounts, so they're not actually spending anything in order to participate. Plus we're giving them a chance at $100,000, which imho, is better than gold.... although we will be giving away some additional awards in Vegas, which will include gold.

lord_farquad: Please help us improve Season II by providing us with some basic feedback. We request that those who played in the WGLNA not respond to this poll as we will have a separate feedback session with the participants.
If you have any recommended changes, or things you would like to see, please leave it in a comment below. Please keep things constructive, as we will otherwise be forced to create an embarrassing meme of you which will last throughout WOT eternity.

dance210: The rounds after that are regular play off style matches. Two teams will battle each other, and the first to three wins (or best of three wins, can't remember which) will win the round and move on to the next day.
