Matthew Tassier This may be overly harsh on whoever won the original event based on the rules at the time of playing.

Dave Robjohns True. Efficiency as a tie break was one of many bad ideas that crept in when planning this, as I only spent a few hours late one night planning the whole thing, instead of the 7 years they have for the real one! Sadly also one that didn't get caught in time...

In hindsight, something that's so time consuming and fiddly to check as a tiebreak was stupid, was just part of trying to make the whole thing very concise.

I accept it's bad to change the rules mid/post event, but fortunately I think there's a tie under the original tiebreak anyway (or at least, it appears to be close enough I'd have to spend about an hour triple checking every calculation!)
