Tie-breaks are a way of splitting 2 or more players who come first.
One way is if me and you tied first on 5 points from 6 games,we could be split by if we played each other.
Our head to head game would count,if beat me in that,you would win the tournament on a tie-break.
Their are other methods such as progressive score count.
Check faq to find out any information.
