Tie Breaker In case of ties (same number of wins and losses), the rank will be settled by these means in this particular order: - Head-to-Head Result - if two players are tied, the winner of their direct match ranks higher. (Winner over the other.) - Point Differential - if three or more players are tied, compare the difference between points scored and points conceded across all matches. The player/team with the highest point differential ranks higher. - Total Points Scored - if still tied, the player/team with the most points scored across all matches ranks higher. - Final Tiebreaker - if all above criteria fail to break the tie, the organizer may use a coin toss or a sudden playoff (example: a doubles match, first to 5 points.) Quarter Finals Seed #3 versus #6, seed #4 versus #5, knockout. Semi Finals Winners of the Quarter Finals will randomly be matched against the Seeds #1 and #2.
