Tournament tie break points

Sort:
CheckingYourMate

I am not clear on how "tie break" points are achieved. I am in a tournament currently, that is made of groups of 4 and top 2 advance. I have won 4 of 6 with 2 left to finish and my tournament score is 4 points and 0 tie break. I see that another player  in another group has 6 wins and 12 tie break points. I dont understand how he has earned tie break points and  I have not. I could use some education on this matter.

                                                            Thanks Brett Halliburton (CheckingYourMate)

ya I already used "help" and FAQ. I just dont understand fully. I should have tie break points already the way I read that link.

Which tournament? Looking at your current online games, I see you're in the first round of a tournament, no one should have time break points yet.

Oh wait, I get it now. You don't have any tie break points because the only games in your group that are finished are four that you've played.
