Title: Tie Break Method for Review
Post by: christiangamer25 on July 29, 2012, 10:54:12 PM
If there is a tie in both score and lost soul differential, the winner should be determined as follows in my opinion. The judge should look at the opponents that were played against by both players. The player who won against the highest ranked opponent wins the tie.

essentially strength of schedule.

That is simply unfair. Yes one player "worked harder" but there is no way or opportunity for the losing player to have any say in the final outcome. Especially because pairings are randomized to start meaning no one has control over strength of scedual.

I still say far too subjective. Let's look at the facts.

Player A beats:
Andrew Wester
Josh Brinkman
Martin Miller
RLK
RLK

Player B beats:
Tim Maly
Gabe Isabelle
RLK
RLK
RLK

Do you give it to Player A, who faced more top tier opponents, or Player B, whose opponent's were at the top of the top tier? Quality versus Quantity.

I do believe he was saying not the entire schedule, just whichever player won against the highest placing other opponent.
