dance210:   Hi!   When teams tie for points, we work through our draw rules.   1. Head-to-head: How well did the teams do against each other?  Team A and Team B are tied in points. Team A defeated Team B when they faced each other. Therefore, Team A is the winner.   If Team A and B drew against each other, then no winner can be found. We would move on to the next step.   2. Head-to-head against group leader: How well did the teams do against the top team. Obviously, this is only applicable when they aren't tied for 1st place. Team A and B drew against each other during the battles, so there is no winner. The next question is how did they do against the leader.   If Team B defeated the leader and Team A lost to the leader, then Team B would win and rank higher than Team B.   If both teams won (or lost) against  the team leader, then a winner couldn't be found. We move on to the next step.   3. Opponent Strength: What was the rank of the teams that they lost to? Opponent strength looks at the rank of the teams that Team A and Team B lost to. If Team A lost to a weak opponent (lower rank) and Team B lost to a strong opponent (higher rank), then Team B would be declared the winner and have a higher rank than Team A.   If neither team lost to any other team(s), then there could be no winner. At that point, it would be considered a complete draw, and both teams would earn the prize.   Does this make sense?   Also, this description is based on a two-way tie. As more teams are tied for points, it becomes more unwieldy to work through which team is ranked where. If you have any questions about specific tournaments, tell me the tournament name and your team name and I can walk you through how the draw was resolved
