TIE-BREAK CRITERIA

  • In brackets that involve 3- or 4-team pools, the following criteria will be followed:
    • In the event of a two-way tie, the tie-breaker is the winner of the head-to-head match.
    • In the event of a three-way tie (same match records), the tie-breaker steps are as follows:
    • % of sets played that were won (2-1, 2-0, 1-2 = 5 wins in 8 sets or 62.5%)
    • Point differential (points won minus points lost for the entire pool play)
  • In a three-way tie, if a team is eliminated based on the first criteria, the steps do not start over.
