How does the high score table work? - answered

How does it work when everyone on the table has the same score? For example, I just received this event today: You receive 10,000 sP for having a high score in Pumpkin Collections! I have never seen this message before, despite "re-completing" my collection every morostide. I clicked on the event and it showed me the high score table, and my name was at the top. It was never like that before. Does it just randomly scramble up the names and re-order them or something? And how often does it do that?
edit: a later refresh and my name moved again. I guess it moves quite often?

The reward event that links to the pumpkin collection apparently links to the old high scores. With every refresh on there my name moved until it was gone. I looked at the new high score table and my name isn't on there either. xD I guess I'm still not sure how it works but hey, got 10k! Thanks for answering!

Sorry for not explaining it better haha.
Basically the way it works is, since so many people have the highest score, it picks them in a random order from the database every time. So every time the high score table refreshes itself (since it stays cached for a bit after each time) it'll change the order. Every night, that 10k goes to whoever is lucky enough to be in the top 10 at that time, so it's kind of a lucky draw.
One of the perks to having a complete collection :) Hope this clears it up a bit!
