Latest Round Comparison

    Keywords: Tournament

Latest Round Comparison is a theoretical tiebreaker. If two players are tied on the same score then the player who won in the latest round is the winner. It may be necessary to iterate this backwards - so for instance a player who won last 3 games beats a player who won his last two games. This keeps the tournament interesting for spectators. It is of dubious value otherwise - it doesn't consider anything about a player's performance or the strength of opposition she faced.
