T63 Playoffs

First off, congratulations to TheDesertRangers for winning the Polgar section. There are no playoffs in this section, as everyone has already played eachother twice over.

All other sections now have a final round before the start of the playoffs. As always, please note that no extensions are allowed in round 7; all games must be completed by 22:00 on Tuesday, June 7.

After that, a playoff round will be played (round 8 for the purposes of setting lineups). The top two teams in each section will play for their section title. The team who finished first in the regular season will have white on boards 1 and 3. More importantly, if the match finishes at 2-2, the first-placed team has draw odds, and will be declared champions.

For determining the final standings, match points (MPs) count first, followed by individual game points (GPs). If two teams are tied on both of these scores, the head-to-head result between those teams is the next tiebreaker. If that match finished 2-2, then the team that accrued the fewest forfeits throughout the tourney progresses. If this is also equal, then board removal takes place: board 4 results are removed, and then the head-to-head tiebreaker is recalculated. if that game was a draw, board 3 is removed, and so on. If all four games in the head-to-head match were drawn, then board removal is recalculated for all rounds.

Note that the standings page only takes MPs and GPs into account, since in practice the remaining tiebreakers are rarely needed.
