In the event of a tie, we then add the scores of the 5th highest player, followed by 6th, and so on.
Playoffs can only occur in the unlikely event that two schools have the exact same score and all count-back checks are equal.
If it's clear at the beginning of the event that this scenario is impossible, the arbiter will add a 15min recess break between rounds 3 and 4.
Trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each division.
Trophies for the top 4 scoring players from the schools coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each division.
School trophy awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed schools in each division.
The winning school in each division qualifies for participation in the 2019 Australian Schools Teams Finals!
