MSA order

More just out of curiosity what order is shown in the MSA view?

Is it just random within score groups?

I think it is by scoregroup order and by ending rating order within a scoregroup.

Yeah, that’s what it looks like.

[b]System Manager Note:

The full order sequence is:

  1. Final Score (descending order)
  2. Post-event rating (descending order)
  3. USCF ID

We don’t know what tiebreaks were used, and not all tiebreaks can be reproduced after the event from the crosstable, so to order by tiebreaks would require that TDs give us that information when submitting the rating report.

Even final score can be different than what was used by the TD for prize purposes, if, for example, there are games that are submitted with inconsistent results for ratings purposes, or if some games could have been moved into an ‘extra games’ section, such as cross-section pairings or games played for ratings purposes by players who were given a bye for pairing purposes.
