runners-up vs runner-ups
You are correct that in normal usage, runners-up is the proper dictionary form. When we are talking about multiple runners it is always runners-up. But when tallying the actual term "runner-up" it is proper to pluralize the whole thing into runner-ups. We are tallying the number of "runner-up" trophies. It's an unusual way to use the term runner-up and it requires an unusual ending, and this was confirmed by multiple MOS authorities. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:08, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
