Different tourneys use different tie-breaks, but all are efforts to quantify the strength of your opponents. This article lays most of the common possibilities clearly with examples.

"""Someone won 2nd with the same record. """" Guessing, you mean, the same touney result as you... OK, if the two of you were not seperated by 'rating class' and one not in an open section as opposed to say, for example, class (rating)... You got screwed, the prize, if any and any kudos, should have included you. Keep in mind, they are trying here and don't always get things the first few times...

This is correct if the tournament was on this site. Even though most tournaments here are run on the Swiss System the tie-breaks employed is one that serves round robins well. See https://support.chess.com/article/314-how-do-ties-in-tournaments-work
