Prize table ranking for players with same statistic value

Hi,

We have a problem when using the prize table. In title 8EC, we have a prize table Weekly Survival Phase Prize Table which gives reward to players of different rankings. The player can have the same value with the statistics we are using for that prize table. For example, 5 players have the highest value. In the leaderboard, they are ranked 1; but in the prize table, they are not counted in the same group. So as the result, if the range of group A in prize table is rank 1-3, two of these five top 1 players will be excluded.

I wonder whether this is on purpose, or this is a bug? The current prize table can not fit our requirement. And we have to think about other solutions according to your answer.

Thanks

Even with the same value, the rank still increases with the update time. For example, if the first player get high score "500" and this player ranks number 1, the second one who gets score "500", will not share the rank 1 with the first player, he will rank number 2.

Slight correction - right now, scores are not ordered by time. That's part of the update we'll be making to the statistics system this quarter. Right now, the order of two equal scores isn't going to be guaranteed. But yes, as Seth stated, the total number of players that can be rewarded is the Prize Table limit - players with equal scores are distinct entities.

@Brendan is this going to change at some point? I'd like to reward users with the same statistic value the same.

In the legacy leaderboard system? No, we'll be deprecating it at some point, once we have the newer leaderboard system in General Availability.

To be clear: Deprecation means "no longer in the latest SDKs and docs". It does not mean "stops working". As long as even one title is calling one of our endpoints, it will continue working. But deprecated features won't be getting any updates, so it's best to move to the latest features for new games, or those you plan to continue to run for a long time.

What's the legacy leaderboard? I'm talking about the one currently in the dashboard, with leaderboards and prize tables.
