Rules

List of TieBreakingRules

An ordered list of TieBreakingRules to follow to sort two participants in an event.

The result engine must use the list of Rule in order until the tie is broken. Once the tie is broken the remaining Rules are ignored. If the tie can not be broken given the set of Rules the two competitors are given the same rank.

This attribute is required and must have one or more elements in the list.

ListOnly

List of TieBreakingRules

In the event that tie between two participants can not be broken, the TieBreakingRules in ListOnly are used to sort participants for display purposes only.

The result engine must use the list of TieBreakingRules in the order listed. Once the tie is broke the remaining rules may be ignored. These rules do not affect a participants rank, only the order they are listed.

This attribute is not required.
