Has any one else finished a race in exactly the same time as the one in front of you? And then seen that you suddenly hold both diamond and platinum bracket(just an example)? It's happend to me 4 times. But when the race ends I always get the lowest bracket pay-out. WHY?? :mad

Yes that has happened to me. I know that there is another digit that is not displayed on screen but the game does keep track of that MIGHT have something to do with it. I remember reading that in case of a tie both players are suppose to get the upper bracket but like you I always get the lower.

Aha:) Then that's probably why. Still it's a bummer when you loose a 7-8million CR pay-out and end up with maby 3 instead. And something else that's happend is that when I'm racing on: Let's say Beyond the Fall and I'm for instanse in the platinum bracket, then I try to sqeeze one last run in before the time runs out. But I don't make it to the finish in time, so the run gets a DNP, somethimes I get DNP for the whole race and loose whatever place and pay-out I should have got and get nothing at all....

There is another digit that gets rounded (natural), but from what I've seen, the LATER score always gets bounced down a bracket.

I've seen payout brackets where the low diamond is the same score as the high platinum. I'm guessing the only difference was time.

How come sometimes there are 2 people in the diamond bracket and other times just 1? Regardless of number of total riders. Is it because the time is so good that the game hides it?

If you have a recent example, I can show you the data from that event, perhaps to draw your own conclusions or shed some light.

It seems to depend on the number of people in the event. I have participated in an event where I was the third person in the diamond bracket. I see two regularly. It seems like somewhere around 25 rides I start seeing two diamond bracket slots. On the one I saw three, I think there was around 75 or so riders. I actually think that there was 4 diamond slot in that one because I was the diamond cut off for a few minutes and the score lowered. Maybe it is 1 diamond slot for every 25 riders or something like that.

the diamond bracket consists of the top 10% of the total riders rounding up.. so up to 10 ppl there is 1 after 11 there is 2 after 21 there is 3 and so on.

Multiple people are in the Diamond bracket. it's something like 2-3%. When you're in the Diamond bracket, but you aren't the fastest or the highest-scoring or the longest-running, you see the person who is the best in that event. So when you aren't in Diamond you see the person who's at the bottom of the Diamond bracket and when you are in Diamond you see the person who's at the top of the Diamond bracket, and yourself.
