EYEGUARD POLICY
Tie Breaking Procedure for Round Robin Draws
All competitors (whether in team or individual competition) play one another in a pool to establish an order of merit. The final order is decided, taking account of all results in that pool (e.g. Each match in an individual event, or encounter in a team event, is recorded as a win or a loss, with a win worth one point), as follows:
First by the greater number of matches won against the tied competitors;
If equal, by the greater number of games won against the tied competitors;
If equal, by the greater positive difference between the games won and lost among the tied competitors;
If equal, by the greater positive difference between the points won and lost among the tied competitors.
If any of the above criteria result in a tie between two competitors, then revert to the procedure for two competitors tied (head-to-head result between the two competitors).
