Hi jspivey,

This could never happen as the number of players tied on a certain number is used to divide an equal amount of prize spots.

ie. if there are 10 players in a field and eight of them are tied on second then the prize money from spots 2-8 are totalled and then divided between the eight players, which will never be smaller than the tenth spot because the prize money from tenth place to first gradually increases.

Hope that helps... wonder no longer
