    Answer from the FAQ section....

    How are ties handled?

    In the event of a tie, the better scoring entrant between or among the tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final nine (9) holes of the Game. If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final six (6) holes for such Game.  If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final three (3) holes for such Game. If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest score for the 18th  hole (9th for nine hole games)  in such Game, and any remaining ties will be determined by identifying the lowest scoring entrant for each individual game hole, in sequence from 17th (8th for nine hole games) through to 1st, as is necessary to determine a winner, and if any ties remain at that point, the earlier-submitted entry between or among the tied entries will be deemed the better scoring entry.

    If multiple people tie for a place, the percentages for those places will be added up and divided by the number of people who tied for the place. For example, if three people tie for 2nd place, the percentages for 2nd, 3rd and 4th place will be totaled up and divided by three. Each player would receive the same amount. 5th place will then get the correct 5th place percentage.

    This policy has been in force for a while.  I don't mind it in the weekly tournaments, ready go's and such.  However if the US Open this week had ended up in a tie, then the same formula would have been used and I think that would have been a horrid way to determine the champion.

    it would be nice in the 'majors' to have a time designated for a head to head playoff of 18 holes under conditions picked by WGT.

    As I understand, a system like WGT's is used for some real-life tournaments as well. It seems fair as long as you realize that this is the system that will be used, so it is important to end strong.

    When you've been beaten on count back 172 times by JJ656, you learn to accept and live with it :)

    I think in the "majors" there has be a fairer tie breaker involved if both leaders are tied on the same score.

    getting beaten on the countback when there's a $5K prize up for grabs is just wrong.
