Strange Sights player ranking bugged?

Is it me or is the player ranking bugged in Strange Sights? I went through lets say Door 2 and after I finished I'm currently 10th in that door or whatever it's called. But when I look at the overall standings I'm 9th and I'm seeing the same players in the ranking for Door2. So something screwed up because there should be other player in the overall player ranking from Door 1 and Door 3. Hopefully this makes sense.

I'm pretty sure the new interface has messed up this PVE event.

    I see the same names on top as every pve.
    Rankings will normalize in the end, ignore them until then.

    I asked this question many moons ago (probably 6 or so years ago). The response I got was that it's possible that one of the people was in a previous bracket and is therefore rank 1000 (for example) in the main event. I don't know if that's correct or not or whether i understood it incorrectly, but it sounded plausible at the time.

    Strange sights days have different scores available. Certain days are worth more, so the players on those days will float to the top, but will normalize by day three. This is the way it's always been for this event.

    That's... Not true.
    Some subs are faster to clear than others.
    But the points are the same in every sub.

    I'm in sub 1 right now, 5,000 points below the top player in my bracket. Even if I played out and cleared my sub, I would not make up that difference.

    He said different days are worth different points, not different subs. And he's right. All subs in day 1 are worth the same points. All day2 subs are also worth the sane points but are worth more points than day 1.

    I'm probably wrong then.
    I've just noticed that point differences from each sub on day 1 and points for the event have a large range and the common placement is off. But, by day 3 the gerenal user placement normalizes.
    Annecdotally, I always play sub 1 on day 1 and place very low for the bracket, but get back to my normal placements by day 3.

    That's every PVE, and that's not what he meant.
