In what ways are you out of a tournament?

I sometimes play tournaments and while I obviously try to be number 1 or even number 3, it's very rare but then I try and make myself feel better by seeing what I came out of the total number of players. My question is, are all these players (particularly the ones ranked lower than me) actually playing or have they gone away/logged off/ given up on the tournament? 

There's no point me trying to feel better by saying " ooh. 20th out of 120 players" if the lowest 99 are not even playing!  So are people that stop playing excluded from the tournament standings or are they still there?

If players withdraw in Live, they don't get a listed ranking in the event, and just show as -

 

Not sure on Daily since I haven't played one in a long time.

So if they don't withdraw but just stop playing then they're still listed?  albeit with a very low score.
