Tie Break

Two points are awarded for each Round Robin match won. Positions in each group are decided by total points won at the end of all Round Robin matches.

Two-way Tie

This is decided by the higher Leg Difference and if required, followed by winner of the group match.

Three-way Tie

This is decided in descending order of Leg Difference and if required, followed by descending order in Tournament Average and/or Legs Won Against Throw. If these do not break the tie then the player who beats the other two is the winner of the tie and the remaining two will be decided using the Two-way Tie however, if there is no clear winner in the tie then a nine-dart shoot-out decides the three placings.
