Tiebreaker Rules:

For ties that determine whether you get a "bye" or make it into the final rounds:

• A single randomly selected game will be played by all tied players in a random determined order.  If there are more tied players
than the selected game allows, then the selected game will be played with the additional players until all players achieve a
score. The order of the scores will determine how the tiebreaker situation is broken (highest to lowest).

For all other ties:

• Individual game ranking (ie. Player X has a 2nd place on Game ZZ, Player Y has a 4th on Game QQ) will be taken into
consideration. The tie(s) will be broken in the order of individual game rank (highest to lowest). If there is a situation where
players have identical game rankings, then the next highest game ranking for the players will be used to break that tie.
