Yes. The final rank totals all the points you get from 1st and 2nd half...

But remember, if player ranked #10,000 has total 15k points from the 1st half but none in 2nd half, you'd be ranked behind him. XD

The "tie-breaker" system is based on who got to the points first, so if you end up with the same points as others, the person who got it first will be ranked ahead.
