Tie me caddy down, sport

So explain how a tie for first puts the next guy fifth. Consider: add 1+1, 2+1, 3+1, 2+2, & 4+1. How many different solutions are there? By the "fifth" argument, there are 5. That is preposterous. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 02:59, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are wrong - look at any scoreboard for a golf tournament.Tewapack (talk) 03:14, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is an appeal to authority, not a reason. And I see User:Phinumu has decided to violate the WP:3RR rather than even discuss the issue. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 04:52, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We have already explained it. When four players are ahead of player X on the leaderboard, player X is in fifth. When eight players are ahead of him, he's in ninth. When 36 are ahead of him, he's in 37th. pʰeːnuːmuː →‎ pʰiːnyːmyː → ‎ɸinimi → ‎fiɲimi 13:18, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You disappoint me. I'd always thought that when I had a handicap of 7, I was the 14th best amateur golfer in the world (those ahead of me having handicaps of +6, +5, +4, +3, +2, +1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) Nigej (talk) 15:21, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
