*Solkoff will be used as tiebreaker. If teams are tied then the total solkoff score will be used to determine winner.
This is the sum of opponents' scores. The idea is that the same score is more valuable if achieved against players with better performances in a given tournament. Looks like an ideal tie-breaking method and has been used since the Swiss system was invented.
