Determining positions 5 to 8 in Top 8

[Red Irish]

Hi,

once a tournament is finished and having determined the Top 4, what criteria are employed to determine positions 5 to 8? Do you use the position in which the eliminated 4 players entered the Top 8 or is another method used to calculate these positions?

Cheers

I used swiss standings.

Swiss standings is the way DCI reporter handles it. So if I go into the top 8 in 1st seed, and lose in the first round, I will end up in 5th place.
