Time of Loss
Among tied players, the player whose first loss came last gets priority. If player A’s first loss was in round 4 and player B’s first loss was in round 2, player A gets priority. This was a tiebreaker used by POP in 2004-2005.

“The secret of a long life is knowing when it’s time to go.”

“The cultivation of one set of faculties tends to the disuse of others. The loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive in touch. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculty permitted others as essential to national life, to be blighted by disease?”
