You may check complete details about tournaments here http://www.chess.com/tournaments/help.html
For your convenience I am quoting the contents relevant to your query here under:
What happens when there is a tied score? And what is the Tie Break?
If 2 players in a group have the same score then both will advance. Tournament Directors can choose to use an additional tie-break method (we use the Neustadtl score) which factors in the strength of the opponents. If two players have the same score and the same Tie Break score, both will advance.
Below is an example of how the tie breaking system works:
Group #-- | 1 | 2 | 3 | Points | Tie Break |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1. Bob | X | 0 1 | 1 1 | 3 | 4.5 |
2. Mary | 0 1 | X | 0 0.5 | 1.5 | 3.75 |
3. John | 0 0 | 0.5 1 | X | 1.5 | 2.25 |
A player's tiebreak score is calculated by adding the sum of the player's points they have defeated to half the sum of the player's points they have drawn against.
Bob won one game against Mary and two games against John. So Bob gets 1x1.5 points from Mary and 2 x 1.5 points from John, which sums up to 4.5 tiebreak points.
Mary won one game against Bob and drew one game against John. So Mary gets 1x3.0 points from Bob and 0.5x1.5 points from John, which sums up to 3.75 tiebreak points.
John won one game and drew one game against Mary. So John gets 1.5x1.5 points from Mary, which sums up to 2.25 tiebreak points.
Hi all...
I have joined a Tourniment about two weeks ago and I`m curently third, but I will probably loose my last game and another player will probably pass me and advance to the next round... Anyway, I don`t understend what Tie Break means and how can I calculete it... I still have a chance to advance even if I loose my game if I have a bigger Tie Break score so I`m curious about it...If I don`t have chanses of getting a bigger Tie Break score then I will abort the tourniment and start anotherone, if not I`ll continue to wait and see if I can still advance to the next round...
So my question is how can I calculate my Tie Break score?
