Tie Breaker Guidelines

In case of tie in our series standings, the following criteria will be used to break the tie in the order below:

1. The individual with the highest average score per race will be determined the winner.

For example, if both participants have a score of 290 points and one participant did 5 races and the other participant did 6 races, the individual that did 5 races has an average score of 58 points per race versus 48.33 for the individual with 6 races.

2. If the average score per race is the same for both participants, then a head-to-head comparison will be done to see what participant won the majority of the races when competing against the other participant.

For example, using the chart below:

Name	Firecracker	Tailgate	Ghostly	Jingle Bell	Zoo	Pirate	Gecko	Total
Participant A	100	60	70	80	60	50		420
Participant B	90	90	50	50	70		70	420

In the above scenario, Participant A wins because he or she won 3 out of the 5 races they competed against each other.

3. If the head-to head completion in step 2 above yields a tie, then the participant with the lowest accumulated time will be determined the winner (for the races that they competed against one another).
