Tiebreaker in Butterfly Tournaments?

Post by Erik Arneson »

What's the tiebreaker in Butterfly tournaments? (The rules do not specify any tiebreaker and in non-tournament play I believe a tie is just a tie.)

Thanks!

Cheers,
Erik

I believe in all games where ties are possible the tiebreaker (in single elimination tournaments) is just ELO rating.

So it turns out this is not correct, does anyone know what the actual tiebreaker is?

I've read in previous discussions it may be the date of creation of the account (the oldest "wins"), but I'm not sure it has been confirmed.

I can confirm that this is incorrect.

Both players get 0.5 points at least in tournaments with no elemination.
