Emne: Re: This has me a little confused as to how it ended a tie
Jim Dandy: Missed the "player rating portion" in your question, I thought asked if the SB was tossed out. Anyway, as rodnumbers says, player ratings are not a part of this.
Emne: Re: This has me a little confused as to how it ended a tie
Jim Dandy: Not tossed out, everyone got the same SB. Each win gives the same amount of SB points (3 points) because everyone are equally "strong", according to number of wins.
Emne: Re: This has me a little confused as to how it ended a tie
Jim Dandy: Stronger/weaker players refers to their performance in the current tournament, not their rating. I thought the same as you until I checked it out again now. http://brainking.com/en/FAQ?ht=19

Jim Dandy: What does "S-B" column at tournament tables mean?
S-B is an abbreviation for Sonneborn-Berger system. It is used to specify an order of players with the same number of points and is based on a theory that points earned with a stronger opponent are more valuable than with a weaker one. The S-B value is a total sum of points of opponents who lost the tournament game with the player and half points of opponents who drawn the tournament game with the player. Only if two or more players have the same number of "normal" and S-B points, they share the same final order.
All players got 3 points, and all players won once against each opponent. Seems correct to me.
