Tournament Winners.

What this means is that the Head to Head result from each match over rules the amount of points the teams earn, this is also the reason a 3 way tie for 1st is one of the two ways for more than one team to earn first place, although more on that in a minute. As you know, points work like this:   3: Victory 1: Draw 0: Defeat   However, while points may be presented as the primary factor for scores in tournaments, it's actually the H to H that makes the difference Points are more of a, let say backup plan.

Now back to the 1st place ties: When two teams have the same result in points (which means they won, lost and drawn the same amount of games.) The team that one over the other team gets first. But what about the other way to get a 1st place tie? Well, given that both teams have more points than anyone else in that bracket, if said teams draw the match, and still have more points than anyone else in their bracket: Only then, will they be able to pull a two way tie for first. This is one of two ways, but that'd require both teams to not have lost any matches, and drawn theirs against each other.

But what about a three way tie? Well, this is more of a rare occasion, and one that can't really be set up, but all teams in question, would of had to lose to each other, once, this means Team A would of had to lose to Team B, but beat Team C, Team B loses to Team C, but wins against Team A, and Team C loses to Team A but wins against Team B, and all teams have the highest amount of points at the end, it will award all three teams first, because there is no other way to place someone over another, in a head to head fashion.

Hope any of this helps!
