Ranking is done by the total number of points given each title. In case of a tie, the tiebreaker is the number of First Place Votes, then the number of Second Place votes, then the number of Third Place votes. If the tie is still not resolved, the Webmaster decides according to whatever whim strikes his fancy that day.
