Round Robin Tie Break Procedure
Determining order of finish. The player who wins the most matches is the winner. If two players are tied, then the winner of their head-to-head match is the winner. If three or more players are tied, the Referee shall use the following steps in the order listed to break all ties. The Referee shall break as many ties as possible using a given step before using the next step. These steps are: • The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving just the tied players; • The player with the highest percentage of sets won of all sets completed; • The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied; • The player with the highest percentage of games won of all games completed; • The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied; • The player with the highest percentage of sets won of sets completed among players in the group under consideration; • The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied; • The player with the highest percentage of games won of games completed among the players under consideration; and • The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied. If the Referee has applied all the steps and a tie still cannot be broken, the Referee shall use a random drawing among the remaining tied players to determine their order of finish.
