Stevie: Well.. they have been promised, and many people play their games ultimatly for their ranking instead of just wins and non wins.

Honeylo is a good example of how almost anyone can get into the top 5, even higher, very easily but without any chance of actually winning. Which is probably a good strategy for anyone playing for rankings, and it makes it relatively easy for whomever is in first place when it ghets down to the final several people :)
