Tournaments for games with a Highscore type set to Low don't work properly.

For example in the game of http://pinataisland.info/forum/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&do=stats&gameid=21 a lower score is better, but if a player gets disqualified and their score is 0 they will advance over someone with a non-zero score which is wrong.

I guess what I'm saying is that Tournaments for games with a Highscore type set to Low should always consider a non-zero score to be better than a score of zero.

Yes, "zero" is no result at all ...

As I can't view the linked tournament as a guest on your forum, please let me know if this happened after all players did all their tries, or was it an early advance ?

Minesweeper is one of those games where you often don't get to submit a score because if you don't clear every single mine then you 'lose' and don't get any score at all (or perhaps a zero score).
