Tie Break Rules:

If there are more than 8 matches in the OOP we don't use SR's:

In case you chose the winner of the TB1 match:

1. Compare TB1's: Player A choses the correct winner for the TB1 match and Player B doesn't --> Player A wins.

2.
A)Compare TB1's: Player A and Player B chose the correct winner for the TB1 match but Player A has a correct Set Ratio for that match but Player B doesn't --> Player A wins.
B)Compare TB1's: Player A and Player B chose the correct winner for the TB1 match and both have the correct/incorrect Set Ratio for that match, winner should be determined by this order:

Player has 2 sets in the correct order > Player has 2 sets in the wrong order > Player has 1 set in the right order > Player has 1 set in the wrong order.

3. If you can't find a winner after all this use the who's closer method:

Example: Sharapova wins a match 6-3 6-3

Player A chose her: 6-0 6-0
Player B chose her: 7-6 7-6

Total number of games in Sharapova match: 6+3+6+3=18
Total number of games in Player A pick: 6+0+6+0=12
Total number of games in Player B pick: 7+6+7+6=26

Player A: |18-12|=6
Player B: |18-26|=8

Player A wins as he is closer to the real score.

4. In case none of this methods can be applied --> use TB2, TB3, TB4 or TB5.

In case you chose the loser for the TB1 match:

1. Compare TB1's: Player A and Player B chose the loser of the TB1 match but Player A gives a set to the winner and Player B doesn't --> Player A wins.

2. Compare TB1's: Player A and Player B chose the loser of the TB1 match and no player gives a set to the winner ---> Use TB2 and do the same steps.

3. None of the TB's could produce a winner after using this method --> Use the old TB method where the Player who gives the winner the most games will win.


If there are less than 8 matches in the OOP we use SR's:


1. Compare Set Ratios: Player A has more Set Ratios correct than Player B --> Player A wins.

2. Number of Set Ratios is equal to both players --> Use the above methods.

I decided to open this thread (after talking to some other people) because it is obvious that people continue with doubts about the rules and the other thread was mixed with the old TB Rules..

if you can't understand this post or you still have doubts please ask them here or send pm's to one of the board members or some other experienced managers (James,...)

In case you chose the loser for the TB1 match:

3. None of the TB's could produce a winner after using this method --> Use the old TB method where the Player who gives the winner the most games will win.

4. Both Players give the same number of games to the winner use the who's closer to the score method:

Example: Sharapova wins a match 6-3 6-3

Player A chose her: 0-6 0-6
Player B chose her: 6-7 6-7

Total number of games in Sharapova match: 6+3+6+3=18
Total number of games in Player A pick: 6+0+6+0=12
Total number of games in Player B pick: 7+6+7+6=26

Player A: |18-12|=6
Player B: |18-26|=8

Player A wins as he is closer to the real score.






i have a problem~~~~

for you example,

Sharapova wins a match 6-3 6-3, Player A chose her: 0-6 0-6,Player B chose her: 6-7 6-7;

so Player A give the winner(Sharapova) 0 game; Player B give the winner(Sharapova) 12 games.

USE step 3 , "the Player who gives the winner the most games will win" , so Player B wins.

so the example never used by step 4, 'cause the match has decided the winner by step 3.

BTW, i think the rule is not fair, 'cause the same match, use step 3 ,Player B wins; but use step 4 ,Player A wins, so strange~~~~

i think rules should del "the Player who gives the winner the most games will win" , i think the step 3 and step 4 is " if None of the TB's could produce a winner , player wins whose is closer to the real score "

hope i understand the rules in right way = =!

Good Point Leoneo, that was one was useless ;) thank you :)

My pleasure :drool:

this thread wasn't visible anymore...please someone stick it :)

up!~ :)

I guess "more than 8 matches" means "8 matches or more"?

this sentence is wrong, Rui! :angel:

Right would be:

If there are 8 or more matches in the OOP we don´t use SR´s :angel:
and not more than 8 matches, that would mean 9 :angel:
