In the end of the swiss tournaments you got the maximum points, 7.0, but two people has 7.0 point too, and you're the lowest rated of them, then you're only the 3rd. This is so unfair! And, once I play a 1/0 bullet arena, and I was 4th. But, I have the same points as the 3rd, but I was lower rated than him. Very unfair! Why? Why?!

Swiss events use multiple different tiebreaks and rating is the last one used if there are ties in the other 7 tiebreak methods. That's not going to happen very often.
