Hi,

We have a question in a round robin how does the elimination work on tie?

In this tournament : https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?i ... ge_display
Second and third have same victories points (2 points), 2 wins and 3 points score difference.
So this is a perfect tie.

In the head-to-head match, the third-placed beat the second-placed.

We don't understand how the classification was made.
Does the one with the lowest ELO win?

Thank you

As far as we know if you have a perfect tie the player with the oldest BGA account “wins".
