Just add all the prize tokens for first, second, and third place and distribute them evenly between the three people that tied for first, since we are the top three. That's how they do it in Golf tournaments.

Another variant could be that:
- misunderstood beat gameplayer, gameplayer never beat misunderstood, placing misunderstood definitively above gameplayer.
- gameplayer beat richierich, richierich never beat gameplayer, placing gameplayer definitively above richierich.
- richierich and misunderstood both beat each other twice, proving inconclusive.

So, one could argue:
1st: misunderstood
2nd: gameplayer
3rd: richierich

I'd be happy with either of these proposals (i.e. this post and my earlier post suggesting dividing all prize tokens evenly between the three of us).

Another way to look at it would be to consider rating in the same way that rating is awarded to winners during regular games; richierich has highest rating so would get lowest rating points for the wins, gameplayer has second highest rating so would get second highest rating for the wins, misunderstood has lowest rating, so would get highest rating for the wins. Again giving:

1st: misunderstood
2nd: gameplayer
3rd: richierich

Sorry, trying to procrastinate from doing what I should really be spending my time on :)

Actually, that math is not entirely fair, since each win was against different pools of opponents, each having different rating. However, if adding up the rating awarded for each actual win, the order still comes out the same:

misunderstood: 507 rating points
gameplayer: 477 rating points
richierich: 437 rating points

OK, now I really, really have to get to what I should be spending my time on! LOL.
