With only 5 games pending there is a race bewtween Tanmay Srinath and Om Prakash for the top spot. Om Prakash needs to win his last pending game in order to catch up with Tanmay at 9.5 points, after which tie break rules will apply. Sailesh Chandra with 6 points has four games pending and if he obtains 3.5 points he too reaches the top and if he wins all the 4 games he becomes champion.

In view of the pending games we cannot predict who will be the 3 prize winners!

Tie-break rules

Ties will be resolved in the following order:

  1. Direct encounter (Results of tied players against each other)
  2. Greater number of wins
  3. SB Score (sum of the scores of opponents defeated plus half sum of scores of opponents drawn)
  4. Koya system (Number of points acheived against all opponents who have scored 50% or more)
  5. Toss of coin

Scenario

This is a tremendous performance by Tanmay who played in an AIWCF Championship for the first time. He is likely to be among the prize winners and stands a chance to be the champion.

The list of contenders for the first 3 places is: Tanmay Srinath, Aniruddha Dutta Gupta, Om Prakash, Ajith Jose, Gautam De, Lalit Kapoor.

Let us see the situation under the following hypothetical situation: Om Prakash wins his last remaining game and Sailesh Chandra draws all the other games. In this interesting scenario, Tanmay Srinath and Om Prakash would be tied and even the SB Scores as well as the Koya System scores would be exactly the same. In such a case, for the first time, in the history of AICCF/AIWCF the winner would have to be decided by toss of coin!
