TIE BREAKERS
- A tie between two teams is always resolved, without exception, using the head-to-head result of the match between the two tied teams. This situation is most often seen in a 4-team pool where two teams finish with matching 2-1 and 1-2 match records.
- A tie between three teams with the same match record shall first be resolved using the following criteria relating to head-to-head results:
- A team that beats all the other teams with which it is tied in match record will finish ahead of the other teams in the pool.
-A team that has lost to all of the other teams with which it is tied in match record is placed behind the other teams in pool finish.
- After these criteria have been exhausted, if only two teams remain tied, this remaining tie shall be resolved using the head-to-head result of the match between those two teams.
-If three teams remain tied after examining the head-to-head results, set percentage shall be the next level of breaking ties. Teams with a higher set percentage will finish ahead of teams with a lower set percentage.
- If two teams remain tied after examining both head-to-head results and set percentages, that tie shall be broken using the head-to-head result of the match between those two tied teams.
- If three teams remain tied after examining both head-to-head results and set percentages, point percentage shall be the next level of breaking ties. Teams with a higher point percentage will finish ahead of teams with a lower point percentage.
- If two teams remain tied after examining head-to-head results, set percentages, and point percentages, that tie shall be broken using the head-to-head result of the match between those two tied teams.
- If three teams remain tied after examining all criteria listed above, the decision reverts to a coin flip. The two lowest seeds coming into the tournament will have a coin flip between each other first. The winner of that will then have a coin flip against the highest original seed.
