Tie-breaker in a single-elimination tournament

Post by Knockando »

What is the tie-breaker for a tie in a single elimination tournament ?

I was thinking I would have a rematch, but I'm eliminated...

I think it is elo-ponderated random value. The higher elo has less chance to win over the lower elo.
I found this unfair. The lowest ELO should win this tie.

It looks like the one who is more on top of the tournament tree wins.

Still no clear answer for that ?

Please BGA, can you give a clear answer : what is the tie-breaker to decide who advance in an elimination tournament ?

I also need an official BGA response for this. More concretely in Carcassonne elimination tournaments.

I want to explain the players the tie breaker internal rule... but I can't.

Thanks in advance.

For games that can tie, I believe the player with the greatest thinking time left is the winner (and advances). This rewards faster play.
