Somewhere I think.

In brief..... One 'win' for every correct tie-breaker question. If you guess Miki's final record, you get an additional 8 wins. If you are the yusho winner, that is worth a bonus win. Then, depending on the results of players, I 'adjust' (to make it as close to the balancing overall wins and losses) the results of those not correctly guessing K's record.... The closer the guess to his actual record, the more wins you'll get.
