Last posted scores in RG's

  Just wanted to post this nagging thought, and ask the community to keep an eye out so I can either put the thought to rest, or trust my instincts.

  It might be just me, but in a number of RG's of late I've noticed that the last posted score has won.

  I'm the sort of player that enters, has a whack, and then next day checks the closed RG's I entered to see how it panned out (and if I'm desperate, how many credits I might get back).  With (it seems to me) increasing frequency I'll check an RG that has been closed for 10+ hours and notice someone I "know" has shot a great score and is on top.  Then after the payout I check and they got knocked off.  Very occasionally it is me - coming second or third with 1 hour to go before payday and I end up 4th or 5th.

  Now if I'm right, either playing the last score = extra luck, or..................................................

  If multiple players have the same card, the first one to post wins a tie breaker if there is one.  For this reason, I try to get my score card posted rearly as possible.

  Some players like to know what they have to beat so wait until the last minute to play their round. Maybe they like playing under pressure. Personally i just play when i've entered and hope my score is good enough.

  I didn't know this. Something worth remembering for the future.
