If more than one player is tied for the winning position, those who've reached position seven are out of the game and the rest will continue until there is a clear winner.

this particular mixture of be the lowest by having the highest amount of points and the one who is the highest loses just completely breaks my brain.
it's like when you're staring at your hands trying to remember which one's left and you make an L with both of them and feel embarrassed because you're in your thirties and you still have to make the L to figure it out.
It's not. it's less than a standard deviation. being almost x standard deviations away from the average would not be meaningfully different than being over x standard deviations away. IQ points don't scale with life success in the way that most people think; it's best to be about 1 standard deviation above average, 2 is still okay. Much higher than that and chances of success start going down again.
It's likely that there's only one person in my city who scored higher than me. If I lost 10 points, it'd be likely that about 10-15 people scored higher than me. This wouldn't change my life in any meaningful way. I would also be just as unemployably disabled if I gained 10 points. I'm not in the range where slight fluctuations like 10 points would make any difference whatsoever.
Never going hungry again and being able to move in with my girlfriend, however, would improve my life quite a bit.

i think it might make sense to put new players on the tier that has the most players, whatever tier that happens to be (2 in this game right now), or put them in the exact middle of the list so that there are the same number of players above and below them (also tier 2).
