*Top 2 Finishers (of each group) will be invited to the FINAL SINGLE ELIMINATION tournament, to define the Winner of the World Cup.
*Please notice the time limit! The game consists of two games. Like in football: two halftimes! :)
*If there are ties in the group final standing, the tiebrakers will be done in the following sequence: 1) S-B (as calculated by Brainking)
2) Overall less points left in Hyperbackgammon and Backgammon. (the less points left in all games, the better - so it is not good to resign a game, even if it is lost!) Overall boats still afloat for Battleboats Plus (the more boats have not been sunk, the better). If a player resigns, all boats are considered sunk (for the loser) and all afloat boats at that time count as afloat for the winner
3) Flip of a coin (done by me) OR one normal extra extra game between the players that are still tied after 1) and 2) in backgammon and hyperbackgammon. For Battleboats+, the player who has the better hit-differential wins the tie-braker (squares hit - squares hit by opponent). If there is still a tie, then I flip a coin.
