Tournament second place

Excuse me, but some times it is sort of difficult to use de FAQ in Chess.com

In case of a draw in second place in a tournament round, who gets de second place: the one with higher rating or the one with lower?

For, in case the one with higher ratins is the winner, then what is the sense of having "open" tournaments?

If there is no tie break and you have the same score you tie for second.

If the tournament uses a tie break, the tie break is based on your score against all your opponents. Your opponents have to do well for you to have a high tie break.

Take your score against each individual oppenent and multiply it by their score. Sum all these amounts to get your tie break. The tournament pairings page gives a running total until all the games are completed.

If two players have the same score and the same Tie Break score they will share second.

Thanks Tad Dude.

You see, I am in a first round of fouir players (first time I enter a tour…in here) and the way it looks it will end

Two will advance

A --- 1 his rating is 17xx > 4 points

B --- 2 his rating is 19xx 4 points

Me 2 my rating is 15xx 4 points

D 3 his rating is 12xx < 4 points

I still have to play against D, but if I am going to be (no matter what) third I might as well say Good bye to the tournament. . . and keep playing friendly games.

I am goinng to dothe math you recommend

Thanks again
