So, X contestant ranked higher from Y contestant 6 out of 9 then they win the tie? 

 

Or X contestant highest rank is a #2 so X contestant place higher?

The second option is my preference.

I like the second option, that's how it's been done in rankdowns before I think.  

[*Chris 1,704]

And if the second option doesn't break the tie - should I take their 2nd highest ranking into consideration?

Fine by me.  

[Elliott 4,769]

Just do whatever gets Leona and Dami a lower placement.

We need a dislike option for such as this.

I agree, a dislike option for Leona and Dami would come in handy.

[Elliott 4,769]

Me waiting for this list to start:

 

[*Chris 1,704]

I’m waiting on some write ups  

 

I’m starting on the format so it’ll go faster once I have them.

We saw enough questionable decisions by the public in the actual show to keep it from being revived here.

...half of them were made by you.

I thought @Alex95 always used to go by the public ranking when ties happened.

Half of the questionable public decisions on XFUK were made by me when I can't even vote on the show?

Different hosts have different methods.

I have never been involved in one of his rankdowns, I'm referring to other hosts.

@~Tom~ stated that's how it's been done in rankdowns but it wasn't. @Alex95 started breaking ties with public votes and other started doing it differently.

Oh. That would explain the comments because I was like what? Just like some people let the nominator swoop in for a cut/save when 24 hours have passed and some let the the non-nominating rankers swoop in for a cut/save when 24 hours have passed. Different ways, I guess.

It’s been done in rankdowns before like Tom said. Just not Alex’s. Tom didn’t say it’s been done in all rankdowns.

And i don’t bother breaking ties because i wanted to have the gag of a double rankdown winner  #extra

[1234567890 5,645]

@*Chris, I'm fine with whatever method you use. It's your rankdown and you're the host. I support your choice no matter what!

I meant initially. I guess I haven't paid attention and the only format I really remember is @Alex95's because it was the first rankdown and we were learning all the rules.

I like this method, but I’m fine with whatever is easiest for Chris.

I tend to prefer this method too. But I'm fine with whatever is decided.
