    Player A shoots a 72 in a country club tournament for fifth place, tied with Player B. Is there any reason to the order of the players on the leaderboard? Why would Player A, for example, be higher on the leaderboard?

    (I wonder because their respective levels, tiers and alphabetizing of usernames do not seem to matter.)

    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.

    See "Ties" in the FAQ =>

    Nevertheless, a shared fifth means both are fifth, and in case of credits at stake both will receive the same amount.Usually, only the winner is separated by a scorecard playoff.

    Only difference may apply in those big WGT tournaments where sometimes prizes or cut lines are limited by the number and not "...including ties". Then, the higher fifth may be in and the other out.
