In which way is chosen the player eliminated in a draw? I have been eliminated in the Lucky winner Break The Code tournament and three of the four of us had the same points.

Was based on the age of accounts, of which yours was the youngest. This is not documented, but the current (unfair) practices seem to be:

1) Order of finish in a tournament game that ends automatically due to the allotted time running out for the game is determined by clock time left for each player.

2) For other cases where a tie breaker is needed, either for round advancement in an elimination tournament, or final placement in a non-elimination tournament, age of player accounts is used as the tie breaker. This includes 3+ player elimination games ending due to a player being removed for being out of time, which effectively creates a tie for first place among the remaining players.
