3rd vs 4th place in tourneys

The only difference between 3rd and 4th place is whether you were lucky enough to be in the top bracket vs the bottom bracket in the tourney. In reality they are both 3rd places unless 3rd and 4th have a playoff. For stat purposes I would like to see both show up as 3rd places to see how well I'm doing in tourneys and how many times I've been in the money.
3rd & 4th places in tournaments are equally treated

At this time, 3rd & 4th places in tournaments are treated equally -- the prizes are the same. Should there be different tourneys with different structure (like Swiss) and/or more prizes, 3rd & 4th places may no longer be equivalent. Just for that reason we'd like to keep 3rd & 4th places separate.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
