13. In order to determine the results in each Round, Participants will be ranked:
a. firstly by their Score, where the highest Score has the highest rank;
b. then, in the case of a tie, by each Participant's Round Margin for the same Round, where the lowest Round Margin has the highest rank;
c. then, in the case of a further tie, by each Participant's Accumulative Margin for the Season to date, where the lowest Accumulative Margin has the highest rank; and
d. the, in the case of a further tie, the Participant who first initially registered to participate (either in a current Season or in a previous Season) has the higher rank.

a. firstly by the Participant's total Score for all Rounds;
b. then, in the case of a tie, by each Participant's Accumulative Margin for the Season;

a. For Codes with the Away Team as a default Score, the Participant will have the Away Team nominated as their tip for a Match, and if the Away Team wins that Match the Participant will be awarded one (1) point. In the case where a Participant does not submit a tip for a Margin Game, their margin tipped for that Margin Game will be deemed to be zero (0). If there are no tips received for a Round at all, then all the Away Teams for that Round will be nominated as that Participant's tips but there will be a maximum number of points allocated to the Participant for a given Round, as outlined on the Web Site for that Code.
b. For Codes without the Away Team as a default Score, the Participant will not receive any points for any Matches or Rounds in which tips are not submitted.
Should a Participant enter the Promotion after the commencement of any Round or Season, then the Participant will be allocated a default Score in the same manner as if they were a Participant at the commencement of the Season and had failed to enter any tips.
13. In order to determine the results in each Round, Participants will be ranked:
a. firstly by their Score, where the highest Score has the highest rank;
b. then, in the case of a tie, by each Participant's Round Margin for the same Round, where the lowest Round Margin has the highest rank;
c. then, in the case of a further tie, by each Participant's Accumulative Margin for the Season to date, where the lowest Accumulative Margin has the highest rank; and
d. the, in the case of a further tie, the Participant who first initially registered to participate (either in a current Season or in a previous Season) has the higher rank.
Round rankings will be determined no later than 72 hours after the last Match of the particular Round has ended.
14. The end of Season rankings for each Code will be determined:
a. firstly by the Participant's total Score for all Rounds;
b. then, in the case of a tie, by each Participant's Accumulative Margin for the Season;
c. then, where Participants have identical Scores and identical Accumulative Margins, the Participant with the lowest Round Margin for the last Round within the Season will be ranked highest; and
d. then, in the case of a further tie, the Participant who first initially registered to participate (either in a current Season or in a previous Season) has the higher rank.
End of Season rankings will be determined no later than 72 hours after the final Round of the Season has been completed.
