TIEBREAKER
Series & Group Stage Tiebreakers In the event two (2) or more Teams are tied in Round Score, the tie will be resolved by the following, in descending order of priority:
(A) Single Match Scores The Team with the highest Match Score from a single match wins the tiebreaker. The highest single Match Scores may have been in the same or different matches in the round for each tied Team. Example: Team 1 and Team 2 have tied Round Scores of 67. Team 1's highest single Match Score is 20 points in the first match of the round and Team 2's highest single Match Score is 22 points in the second match of the round. Team 2 would win the Single Match Score Tiebreaker. This is repeated for all matches played in the round until all ties are broken or no additional individual Match Scores are available. Example: Team 1's and Team 2's single highest Match Score is 20 points in Matches 1 & 3 respectively. Team 1's next highest single Match Score is 18 Points from Match 3, while Team 2's next highest single Match Score is 15 in Match 2. Team 1 would win the Single Match Score Tiebreaker. If two (2) or more teams are still tied after review of Single Match Scores, then ties will be resolved using Single Match Best Placement.
(B) Single Match Best Placement The Team with the best finishing placement (lowest number) in a single match wins the tiebreaker. These best placements may have been in the same or different matches for each tied Team. A 1st place finish in a single match is the best possible placement. This is repeated for all matches played in the round until all ties are broken or no additional individual matches are available. If two (2) or more teams are still tied after review of Single Match Scores and Single Match Best Placement, then ties will be resolved using Single Match Total Kills.
(C) Single Match Total Kills The Team with the highest number of kills in a single match wins the tiebreaker. This is repeated for all matches played in the round until all ties are broken or no additional Matches are available.
