How does this new tiebreak, fewest number of forfeits, work?
Whenever two or more teams are tied for a position round, or playoff seeding, or a playoff 2-2 match, and the tie must be broken, the next tiebreak (after match and game points have been compared) is each team’s record of Reliability Rating Point Reductions in the tourney thus far. The team with the fewest number of forfeits is awarded the higher position. If the teams are still tied, then the Board removal process is used. Section 13.B.ii.a.
