Im fairly sure it's Banners, and it actually does matter: last week I was the runner up, but due to heaving a tie occurring on day 1, i was the only one who even had a chance at getting 3wins. But I was granted first place anyways probaply due to banners being the tie breaker.

I have never seen a tie by the time it gets to the bracket rankings. There is always one, and only one, player with 3 wins in the end. In the case of 2 no-shows, the same GP tie breaker kicks in and there is still going to be a "winner".
