Barenpark tie breaker?

[JoysJoy]

This game a friend and I had an exact tie, and we can't figure out what the tie-breaker was?

It says : "Tie breaker: Total points values on the tiles left in their supply",

but the game summary shows we both had zero reserve points.


"Score left in player supply 0 0"

What was used to break our tie? https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=506039043

You were tied on the tiebreaker, so it stays a tie. It says you both came first.

Thank you. I guess I was confused by the ELO changing and thought it made JoysJoy the winner.

Ties are considered a negative result for the higher ranked player, in terms of their ELO (they should have beat you, and they weren't able to). Hence, the higher ranked player will lose ELO in a tied situation (and the lower ranked will gain).
