Tie-breaking options

Traditional

The sixth runner from each tied team is used to break the tie.

The team whose sixth runner has the lower score wins the tie-breaker.

Head to Head

The first five runners from each tied team are compared against each other.

The team that wins the most head-to-head matchups, at least three out of five, wins the tie-breaker.

Average of Top 3

The scores of each team's top three runners are compared.

The team with the lower score wins the tie-breaker.

None

No tie-breaking procedure is applied. Ties remain unchanged.

Create custom names for split points

  1. Select the Events tab.
  2. Find the event you want to configure.
  3. Use the dropdown to select the number of split points for that event.
