C. Tie Break Rules

The Procedure to solve a tie is as follows:

· Ranking will be established by comparing the number of matches won.

· If two pairs have won the same number of matches, the winner of the match between them will be ranked higher.

· If three or more pairs have won the same number of matches, ranking will be established by the difference between total games won and total games lost.

· *** If this still leaves two players / pairs equal, the winner of the match between them will be ranked higher.

· If three or more players / pairs have won the same number of matches and are equal in the difference between total games won and total games lost, ranking will be established by the difference between total points won and total points lost.

· If this still leaves two players / pairs equal, the winner of the match between them will be ranked higher.

· If three or more players / pairs are still equal, then ranking will be established by drawing lots.
