Tiebreak regulations
For players who finish on the same score, final position is determined by the following tie-breaks, in order:
- Buchholz Cut 1 (the sum of the scores of each of the opponents of a player but reduced by the lowest score of the opponents)
- Buchholz (the sum of the scores of each of the opponents of a player)
- Average Rating of Opponents Cut 1 (average rating of opponents excluding the lowest rated opponent)
- The results of individual games between tied players
- Drawing of lots
If two or more players are tied for any position other than first, the above mentioned tiebreak system shall decide the ranking of the tied players.
If two or more players are tied for first, the top two players who finished the highest on the above mentioned tiebreaks shall play a two game mini match with the time control of 3+2 (with colours of the first game drawn) to decide the winner. If the score is tied 1-1, the players continue to play single 3+2 games until one of the players has won one game (the player who finished highest on the above mentioned tiebreaks shall have the white pieces for the first game and the colours will alternate from the next game).
