I would like to understand how the positions are defined in this tournament.

It makes no sense to me that the two first players have the same points, played exactly with the same opponents, have the same tie break but the player with more draws is first.

Additionally the player on third place played just 2 games. Something looks definitely wrong with this system.

This tournament (playstrategy.org/swiss/Tj54WO62) has a shared Gold medal as @jankis and @ZAS have played exactly the same opponents.

They are being ranked on PlayStrategy by 'Performance' which isn't a tiebreaker the MSO use.

The Bronze medal is correct. It is an unusual scenario, exasperated by the low number of players. But nothing incorrect has occurred here.

ah ok, sharing gold makes total sense.

And of course the third place is a very unusual situation.

Thanks for the clarification.
