Yes and no. If you have low sed due to being low level or damned unlucky at collecting cards then placing could be impossible for you. However Nutaku "level Pads" which makes it harder. http://puu.sh/mzi2N/0698c68d24.jpg This pic illustrates that. Notice that the levels from 750 to 753 are absent. so if you have 1 point less then the 749level you are still fucked.... it keeps winners out of the pool... shame really.

That's not level padding. That's because there's a tie at 749. Three people have the same score.

I have 5 contestants. A, B, C, D, and E.

A scores 10 points
B scores 5 points
C scores 5 points
D scores 2 points
E scores 1 point

A comes in first
B and C tie for 2nd
D still comes in 4th (he has the 4th highest score)
E comes in 5th (also known as last)

3rd isn't skipped. There are just two people that have the second-highest score. Ranking is preserved. If you want to get to a higher ranking, you have to be the Xth highest scoring person or tie with the Xth highest scoring person.

In theory, yes. I'm sure there have been events where more than 1000 people ranked in the top 1000. It would just mean that two or three people tied for 999. If you're rank is 999th best (even if you tie for it) you are still 999th best. The rankings go from the top, not from the bottom.
