If more than one player at the end of the tournament has the same number of points, the tie-breaker will be determined by the player who comes closest to guessing the total points scored in the championship game. In the unlikely event of more than one player tied for the same place, guessing within the same number of points of the actual total points scored in the championship game, a blind draw of said players will be used to determine the winner.
