LOW SERIALS ARE WORTH REAL CREDITS — HERE IS WHY

Ties are broken by the lowest serial number in the lineup. Nothing else is consulted.

Ties are broken by the lowest serial number in the lineup. Nothing else is consulted: not entry time, not username, not rarity. Two lineups on 148.6 points, one holding a #9 and one whose lowest number is #20 — the #9 takes first. If the lowest numbers match (two different cards can both be a #7), it moves to the next-lowest, and so on through all four or five cards.

Every standings screen carries a Low # column, so you can always see the number a place was decided on.

Serials are drawn at random from the unclaimed run when a pack is opened. A #1 is not a better card on Sunday — it scores exactly what a #600 scores — but it is the card that wins the tie, and it is one of one.
