After seeing many examples, and I think Rook agrees, that the most logical, and most probable, explanation for ties is that the game takes more decimals into account than are displayed, possibly an infinite amount or very very large amount.
Example:
The game displays that:
Person A gets 16.225
Person B gets 16.225
In reality:
Person A gets 16.2254789
Person B gets 16.2254999
As a result, person B gets the top spot on the tie.
If anyone can prove me wrong, feel free. I am fairly confident that this is the correct method though.
