Hi there CH. I don't see a shoot-off for Women’s 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol, was this just an omission?

Probably of bigger concern, but unless I'm mistaken, that event was the Women's Artistic team event final, but with the Men's Team event finalists...
EDIT: Double checked, It was supposed to be the men's team final, but simmed with the women's apparatus set.

I did not notice that lol. But yeah it should be the men's team final, but if it only has for of the events than its based on women's events, but it should have 6 events, not 4 for men. Also based on rl the men's is usually first and then the women's team event. Just like qualifying.

Added the missing scores and corrected the labels. Eastfield Lodge now wins silver and Eonstar bronze.

There are tiebreaking rules in artistic gymnastics. I have no idea what they are, but I know they exist. But you’re no longer tied.

Here they are, should it ever come to that.

In the all-around events, you eliminate the lowest scores and recalculate. Whoever on top will win the medal. Keep eliminating as necessary.
In the individual apparatus events (except for vault for some reason), you look at whoever has the higher execution score. Since xkoranate doesn't handle that the tie will not be broken. For the vault, it's the highest of the two vaults, then the average, then the E-score again.

CH, for men's tennis, Gabe Anderson of Ndaku won the match against John Michael Neuer (THA), but you bolded John Michael Neuer (THA).

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.' (II Timothy 4:1-5 NKJV)

CH, I sent you a TG on this but I didn't get an answer.

Are the RPs posted before a scorination window valid for the next scorination ? I messed up the dates of the events and posted prematurely. Judging by the result, it doesn't seem like my RP has achieved much, if anything.

It should seriously help, unless you're working out a really shit rp bonus.

Remember, there are 80+ other nations, which significantly reduces your chances of winning - regardless of whether you have a RP Bonus or not.

Of course it should to some extent. And I agree that by and large it should be a decent boost. But RP bonus can never, and should never, be the only decider of results – randomness remains an important part of scorination, and why we all take part. "Judging by the result it doesn't seem like my RP has achieved much" betrays an expectation that RPs = medals and that's never been the case.

RP bonus does sort of mean activeness though. Personally I believe that RP bonus should be extremely important; however, I'm mainly an II rper so that is probably not the mindset in sports.
