Wrong daily tournament advancement?

I’m playing in a daily tournament https://www.chess.com/tournament/219934/player/7ania7

I have the same points as the second person and better tiebreak, but I’m shown as eliminated while the second person is shown as advanced to the next round. Is this a bug or I’m missing some tournament rule?

It could be that less losses is the first TB.

You both have 8 points.

You have 2 defeats and Alx777 only has 1, therefore the tiebreak is not a consideration.

Unlucky though!

(See Group 24 for an example of a tiebreak decider).

The tiebreak column is the one that should decide who moves forward. The OP has the higher tiebreak. Since both players have 8 points, the tiebreak is what is used to break the tie.

 

A ticket should be opened.

Thanks @Martin_Stahl I have submitted a ticket.

 

About the wins/losses: there is a wins/losses tiebreak used in OTB tournaments, but it is „more wins = better", the opposite of „less losses = better”. So if anything, I should be better on this tiebreak as well.

Thanks for adding a ticket. We'll have a look. I have not looked at all yet, but it's possible the TD removed your from event for some reason. You might check with them real quick and we will check from the tech side.

I’m shown as Active (advanced to the next round) now. Thanks!
