The removed player played only the 1st round !!!
Obvious computer error.
You have to ask CC to fix the wrong Medal Deal, MiG. 
No First Place Medal because highest finisher was removed?
Sort:
Yeah, I suppose. I just thought they might see it here.
If you check the tournament below, you'll see that the first place finisher was "removed". Problem is, the person who was removed in the final round isn't the person listed first.
Can someone check this?
