How do you determine 6th place? If there are a number of people tied in the 4th slot, do they battle it out? Or do you skip down to the 6th place score slot and let those people battle it out? Presumably there will be multiple people with the same 6th place score. 

Right now, I am not going to worry about it.  While the 4th round is underway, we can discuss options and I will make a decision after I get a feel from participants as to how they would like it to go down.

The idea of e.g. three players in 4th place duking it out for 6th place is pretty funny.  lol 

One thought... I feel like in the pre-Mike era of contests, "number of total bullseyes" was used to differentiate between contestants with the same final score. (FWIW, I say that as someone who was never ever helped by that metric.) 

I don't feel strongly that it *has* to be scored that way, but that would be a fairly quick way to eliminate or greatly reduce most ties.

At the beginning of these contests, I contacted Shin, and he gave me the final rankings which I have used in the tiebreaker rounds.  I believe 1 time, I had to use the third one listed to determine winners.

1) Most cumulative Bullseyes  (Bullseyes in tiebreaker round count)

2) Most Books off by 1 grade

3) Most Books off by 2 grades

4) First Book in order listed to get Bullseye

5) Second Book in order listed to get Bullseye

You already recorded my grades.

I forgot the step of adding them to the spreadsheet.  They are now recorded.

So Mike tell us some interesting facts about the current round thus far. Like someone scored 4 bulleyes. Or someone missed a single grade by 14 points.

Someone has scored 4 bullseyes and has a total score of 1 for this round.
