Results

  • In the event of a tie, the combination with the fewest number of runs to achieve their score takes the higher position.
    • e.g. two combinations are tied on 48 points. One combination has achieved 48 points from 6 runs, the other from 4 runs. The combination that has achieved their points from 4 runs takes the higher position.
  • If positions are still tied, the Equality of Marks Rule as per the EI Rule Book will apply.
