I don't think he did. His explanation was correct. You are misunderstanding the tie-break rule. It is not mentioned anywhere that there were more than 3000 people with CRS score greater than 456 that are in pool before March 3.You misunderstood me. As of march 8 there are a total of 2674 ppl in the pool above 451. How can there be more than 3000 ppl in the pool above 456 on march 3rd?
