(ex. Both players in the tie have 60 total points from their best four rounds. Player one played a fifth round in which they got 14, player two played a fifth round in which they got 12. Player one would win the tiebreaker. If a player does not have results for an additional session it will be as if that player’s additional session was a 0.If the tied players also tie in their additional sessions, then whichever player had the single highest scoring session will win the tiebreaker.In the extremely rare case that both players have the exact same scores across all qualifying attempts, the tie will be broken by a one ball playoff on an EM..FINALS:General information –A and B Division finals begin Sunday at 3:00pm and 3:30pm respectively.A and B Finals are played in 4-player PAPA scoring (4, 2, 1, 0)Four player games are scored with 1st earning 4 points, 2nd earning 2 points, 3rd earning 1 point, and 4th receiving 0 points.The top two players from each group will advance to the next round.If there is a tie in point totals for the top two players in a group, the tied players will play off on a randomly selected game.
