Tie breaks
Tiebreak scores are used when two players finish a tournament with the same score.
A player’s tiebreak score is calculated by adding the total points scored by the opponents they defeated, plus half of the total points scored by the opponents they drew against.
Example
Below is an example of how the tie-breaking system works:
Group # --
|
1 |
2 |
3 |
Points |
Tie Break |
1. Bob | X | 0 1 | 1 1 | 3 | 4.5 |
2. Mary | 0 1 | X | 0 0.5 | 1.5 | 3.75 |
3. John | 0 0 | 0.5 1 | X | 1.5 | 2.25 |
Bob won one game against Mary and two games against John. So Bob gets 1x1.5 points from Mary and 2 x 1.5 points from John, which sums up to 4.5 tiebreak points.
Mary won one game against Bob and drew one game against John. So Mary gets 1x3.0 points from Bob and 0.5x1.5 points from John, which sums up to 3.75 tiebreak points.
John won one game and drew one game against Mary. So John gets 1.5x1.5 points from Mary, which sums up to 2.25 tiebreak points.
