    Question can this be fixed to find for next name

    I am using this formula to automatically "display" a name from a list of total points to make a rank that will consistantly change as the points change.. I only want to display the top six names..Right now this formula will do that but when there is a tie it displays the same name twice and will skip the next name in the order.. any suggestions??

    INDEX(A2:A13,MATCH(LARGE(B2:B13,1),B2:B13,0))
