Does anyone understand how the assignment of delegates works in a caucus?

[napi21]

Just listened to CNN for a few minutes and they said in two precincts, both Bernie & Hillary walk away with 4 delegates each, and the larger number of supporters for Bernie doesn't matter. I was under the impression that delegates were assigned by the % of the voters, e.. if there were 100 people caucusing and the Bernie group got 60 people in their group, and Hillary had 40 people, then Bernie would get 60% of the delegates and Hillary 40%. Apparently I' wrong again.

Why doesn't the number of voters in each group matter?

1. Can't split people

They usually get annoyed when you try to saw them in half.

2. Rounding.

They can't send half a delegate. Sometimes the rounding is such that first and second place get the same number of delegates.
