After all team members have competed, in the event of a tie, the team will decide who goes up to break the tie (the same person cannot go up again if the tiebreak match is draw). This is a new match, not an extension match, therefore, all previous warnings do not carry over as in individual extension matches.
In the finals, a winner must be chosen by the end of the third tiebreak match (if not before). In deciding 3rd and 4th, a winner must be chosen by the end of the second extension match (if not before). In any other match, a winner must be chosen after the first tiebreak match.
If not mutually agreed upon, to determine the order of contestants, the chief judge will flip a coin. The team winning the toss decides which team sends a contestants up first. The other team then sends someone up to complete. During the next round, the other team sends someone up first.
