The score approach is OK as long as the 2 people in a tie played the exact same weeks. But if they each missed 1 week, but each a different week, then how well the #1 plasyer scored that week can skew the results. Like if #1 does awesome and blows everyone away, the person is getting less credit than a week where the #1 person wasn't head and shoulders above everyone else.
using win percentage as secondary sort in v3.13.0
Problem
Throughout a season, players can have the same number of points accumulated, resulting in a tie. Currently, the visualization of ties will show players ranked higher than others if they have accumulated points in the current week of play. This is counterintuitive to how most leaderboards work where players retain their current position regardless if other players have accumulated points to tie them.
There are cases where many players are in a tie
Solution Options
Options 2 and 3 might yield the same results but currently rollingAveragePosition only exists for the weeks where players have a score.
