How is the WCH challenger decided?

In the (unfinished) tournament GO__WCH_TOURNAMENT__000011(http://www.ficgs.com/user_page.php?page=tournament&tournament=FICGS__GO__WCH_TOURNAMENT__000011), Ruzin, Praz and I all have exactly the same points, but it seems that tournament GO__WORLD_CHAMPIONSHIP__000011 (http://www.ficgs.com/user_page.php?page=tournament&tournament=FICGS__GO__WORLD_CHAMPIONSHIP__000011) has started with Ruzin as the challenger.

Does anyone know how this is decided? Thanks :)

In this (rare) case, the "TER" (tournament entry rating) decides... Mikhail was the highest ranked player. It's all explained in the tournament rules - see waiting list page.

Thanks, it's sad that I have just missed two Go WCH (11 & 12) in a few days... :(

Ah, if you decided not to enter the waiting list because you thought you were qualified for the final match in the 11th cycle, then yes I understand... :/
