Seeking clarification on a ruling (split from Incorrect Rulings thread)

We don’t know that. The TD voided the whole game.

Don’t we, though? Here’s the relevant part of the original post on this particular Tron game:

@pinzap

Tron. 4 player match. Player 1 had finished his game in 4th place. player 2 had a huge lead and was in 1st place with over 100mil, player 3 was currently in 2nd place (around 15-16mil i think) but Player 4 only needed a mil or so to pass into 2nd and another 90+mil to catch player 2. He was on ball 3 and the plunge gave disc multi ball immediately that still wasn’t qualified via playfield (phantom switch was suspected).

Even an ambiguous reading of “He was on ball 3” says to me that Player 1 was done before the malfunction occurred. Therefore that player is done, 4th place, full stop.
