I think that you confuse with another tournament.

In the tournament that I was talking about everyone played everyone

CometB.46 scored 44.5/76 and Crafty18.15 scored 40/76

In another tournament that was not finished
Crafty19.01 33.5/52,
CometB.54 31.5/52

This tournament will include 100 games for every player.
