    I've played hundreds of bracket matches and out of all my games when the score has been tied, I think I have won about 3 of them. Surely I'm not that unlucky. The law of averages would say I would win more than that.

    I suppose in your case,  you in the lap of the gods...lol.  If you check the other persons score then it be the same,  but losing to a countback.

    FFS, Jay caught a glitch, things were set straight for him.

     

    Do / does anyone think WGT is "out to get ya"?

     

    Ya,...jay, not against you, but hear me out...WGT is always fair when it comes to resolving ANYTHING...If you naysayers, tin foil hat wearers, want to think think something else...welll...take a pill and lower your blood pressure.

     

     

    Hey, Jay said it was taken care of...yet ya azz wipes are piling on about ,,,,what?...tell me, I'm old...I need to know.

     

    FFS...OP has had it resolved...but...continue...lol.

    @MB: Who would go back two pages to check for an edit? That's a well hidden "news".

    WGTdbloshoe:
    Once I hear anything I will let you know.

    Obviously, you settled it for Jay, but how about a lil' comm with the public about the whatnots?

    Will this perhaps happen again, or not?

    How hard can it be to show the winner's card?   This should be automatic for any "for credits" tourneys or at least the ones with ties.

    Good question. If this is a 'computer glitch' then it's traceable, find out how and why programming could make this huge mistake.

    Since computers don't have an agenda, this incident can be traced and some simple reason for its error could be highlighted, unless you have to keep it hidden, of course. I would expect...

    Agree with MBaggese that WGT will make things right in this case.  I've contacted WGT many many times and they always come through for me.

    I'd bet the farm that the OP will get his 1st place credits in that bracket.

    Well, most people will open a thread and read through it, they'd then see the problem was resolved.

    Most people would post new information to the bottom of the thread. I've been following it for three days, and usually I read from the last one up, until I find the "old" part which would be my post on top of page 2. No need to re-read page 1.

    I think you're probably right that wgt are out to get anyone and they are fair about sorting out any mistakes that can be shown.

    To say the OP has had it resolved is true in the case where he was certain and a video was taken.  If you re-read the original post, and even the one after the videoed bracket was resolved to his satisfaction, then maybe it's not true that everything is sorted.

    wgt said there would be an explanation, I've not seen one yet, when a reasonable one comes it'll stop the wild speculation much more effectively that your insults,
