Could be because of rounding off.

People should remember that marks are submitted to the nearest whole number. So 92.5% = 93.4%
Yeah, that's what happened to me. I received a 90.4 and the person taking the first ranking was 90.5 in CAFS. Fml! So she took first place, and I took second place.

You would never have been placed first. 90.5 rounds up to 91 and 90.4 rounds down to 90. A completely different scenario to the one above.

Guess I didn't read it properly. Whoops.
