minutes + 5 seconds per move.
If more than two players are tied, they will play a round-robin tournament with the same time controls. If the tie is
still not broken, the procedure will be repeated; however, the time control will be:
Game\/3 minutes + 2 seconds\/move time control.

If Swiss system pairing system is used:
a) Buchholz (total scores of opponents)
b) Sonnenborn-Berger (total scores of opponents beaten plus half the scores of opponents drawn)
c) Most wins
d)Most games with the black pieces.
If the tournament is played in a Round-Robin format:
a)Sonnenborn-Berger (total scores of opponents beaten plus half the scores of opponents drawn).
b) Koya System (Only counting the scores of opponents who scored 50% or more).
