Stage Prizes in TDF if a tie?
For once I managed to do quite well in a stage and came first in the points, but alas so did 14 other wise men (and probably women)... I guess this has been asked before, but how does the prize for winning a stage get allocated in the event of a tie? I'd rather like one of them pumps you see.

In the event of a tie, the following criteria, where applicable, will be used to determine the winner:
Highest single stage score posted within the competition
Most scoring riders on the stage
Highest scoring individual rider on the stage
Coin toss
nah dave confirmed the other day, if you look at the how to play page it's on there
First criteria is highest tour stage score previous
Does it not go on fewest transfers made...sure I once read that somewhere, but I am not 100%...
Toss of a coin for two. I suggested rolling a dice for the 5 person tie.
15 person tie....ERM ERM ERM....Over to you Dave
