It's based on rating, if you have a higher rating means you will place higher in a tie break scenario

I was hoping it would be something else. That is super lame by cc but thanks for the answer!

Otb they use the same tie breaks which cc uses in the swiss tournaments (see https://support.chess.com/en/articles/8572860-how-do-ties-in-tournaments-work)
Ah thanks, ig it's different for USCF as in my tournaments it was just based on rating

I played another tournament today which features a shared third place! At this point it does not even make any sense. Link: https://www.chess.com/tournament/live/arena/the-queens-cup-2024-blitz-royale-3376134Result file:
I just finished a rapid 60 minute arena and downloaded the results. However I can not see why place 2 and 3 or 5 und 6 are the way chess.com says. I read the support article regarding tie breaks but it only includes swiss tournaments or round robin (daily). Can anyone help me here?
