Planning process
The host enters eight for every criterion on the first two sheets and five on the third. The calculator returns equal 8.0 totals and assigns rank one to both, with the next entry at rank three. The host prepares enough recognition materials for a possible tie.
Result explanation
Competition ranking counts how many entrants have a strictly higher score. A display order between tied names does not create a winner. The third rank is consistent with two entrants sharing first.
Alternative
Use a pre-announced tie-break if one physical prize cannot be shared, or choose a prize format that accommodates ties.
Execution notes
Do not change a score simply to avoid a shared place. Verify the judge’s original sheet before announcing results.
