[josko.ri]

After the 5 games “battle”, the winner will be credited with 2 points and the loser with 0 point. In other words, team 1 and team 2 will play 5 games. The winner of the "battle" will be the team with most games won (3, 4 or 5) and will get 2 points. It will be credited with the same number of points if it wins 5-0, 4-1 or 3-2. However, number of games won will be used in case temas end up phase 1 with the same number of points.

in case of tie between two teams, the winner of the battle between these two teams will advance : battles are on 5 maps, so there will always be a winner. This will solve the question of tie between two teams. If three teams have the same number of points and of wins, then we will establish a ranking between them based only on the games between these three teams.

I am not sure I I understood tie breaker rules well. is red labeled part or blue labeled part the most important ?

[ballenus]

Ok, I'll insiert later on some examples to clarify the different situations.
In all cases we take account:
1. number of points (2 points = battle of 5 games won).
2. number of games won (red part by josko).

This might however not be sufficient. Then at the end of phase 1, we will do again another table of standing taking into acount only the batles with the teams that have the same number of points and game won: usually it will simply be the result of the battle between the two teams with the same number of points and game won. In exceptional cases we might have perfect draw between 3 teams and then we will establish a ranking between them based only on the games between these three teams.

I hope this clarifies.
