does that mean that both exit in same round wins? i would think it does.

To me advancing furthest would mean that who ever won the final would have advanced more. Exit the same round would have meant if they both lost in the quarterfinals or semis or such.

In this case, whoever wins the finals should settle the question...Admin or Superguys feedback please!

BTW . . . I have no bucks on this one

@bayoubear, I agree.

But I'll flag for clarification, so an admin could give some official response.

I agree also. Winner advances further. On an official bracket there would be an advancement. Winner of championship match should be considered the winner of this question. BTW, I lose if that is the case because I wagered they would exit in same round. But that is the right call because the winner does "advance" as the champion.

Winner= 1st place
Loser= 2nd place

Winner advances furthest. When creating question I never thought we would actually see both of them in the finals. I should have anticipated this possibility and posted info in background. I hope everyone agrees to settle as whoever wins advances furthest.
