    At the moment iam playing in a tournament, and iam the second higest rated player 180 points behind the top guy. After beating each other, we have won our other games so far.  Iam leading by 1 point but we are equal on tie break points.   How does that work then?

    If all tiebreak points turn out to be equal in the end, both players will be ranked the same and will both advance to the next round of the tournament.

    Perhaps i didn't explain myself properly, iam 1 win ahead of my opponent, we are 1-1 against each other, Yet we are equal on tie break points.

    The tiebreak depends on the score of all opponents not just you.

    That is only the situation right now. Of course, the points will be counted when the round is finished. It does not matter how quickly someone wins his games.

    What I said above is for the case assuming that both you and your opponent win all of the remaining games of this round, so that you both have the same number of points at the end of the round.
