New Scaratings

You folks seem to know the ins and outs of Buzztime, so maybe you can answer this:

My friend and I were playing the other day, and the game amazingly ended in a tie. The score was high enough to make our bar's leaderboard. What is the deciding factor on which player's name makes the board? My name went on the board, and I have more Player's Plus points, so is that it?

Totally random now. Used to the highest box number got the nod, lowest box number in Showdown.

A teammate who was irritated I got the nod a few times in a row on perfect games asked me the same question. I told him that he cared about seeing his name in lights too much, I could care less so I always got the glory. He believed me for about 4 seconds.

I used to play with a guy who would go through the boxes and pick the box with the highest number so if there was a tie his name would show up.

I have seen that too.
