Not Shown In Tiebreak Order

It’s interesting to note that crosstables for the ICC USCF online play are being shown in tiebreak order instead of rating order, despite it claiming “Crosstable data is shown in score group/rating order, which is not the same as the tiebreak order used at the event”

It’s interesting to note that crosstables for the ICC USCF online play are being generated by the same entity that ran the tournament and therefore knows what tiebreak system was used for the event.

Yes but other entities might do the same but they are not being shown in tiebreak order.

1. How do you know they’re in tie break order (as opposed to some other secondary order after points)?

2. It’s possible that this is being handled using some experimental programming since it’s a separate rating system with (in effect) just one organizer.

Because they are shown in tiebreak order on ICC and that same order that is shown on the USCF crosstables.

This is an interesting situation. As far as I know, ICC uses Ratings of Opponent as the 1st tie-break, which I suppose is okay since it is the standard tie-break and is stated as such in the help files, but I don’t see that particular method among the tie-breaks in Rule 34.

1. Score.

2. Sum of scores of opponents, but adjusted in the following way:
   If an opponent does not play a round, it counts as if he scored 0.5
   in that round. This holds for latejoin rounds, bye rounds, forfeits
   or games set by the manager.
3. Average rating of opponents.
4. Random number given at start of tournament. Highest wins.

Well, once again, I’m wrong They use the average rating of opponents.
