tiebreaking between individuals

我查了一下school handbook, 说是个人分数要算 sprint(1x) + target(2x), 如果分数一样，sprint round做对的题目多的孩子胜出。

TIEBREAKING ALGORITHM: used to determine team and individual ranks and to determine which individuals
qualify for the Countdown Round. In general, questions in the Target, Sprint and Team Rounds increase in
difficulty so that the most difficult questions occur near the end of each round. In a comparison of questions
to break ties, generally those who correctly answer the more difficult questions receive the higher rank. The
guidelines provided below are very general; competition officials receive more detailed procedures.
•• Ties between individuals: the student with the higher Sprint Round score will receive the higher rank.
If a tie remains after this comparison, specific groups of questions from the Target and Sprint Rounds
are compared.

如果按照这个算法，小印的确排名在你孩子前面，那么就谢谢人家，不用多说；如果你儿子在前面，但是人家假装高风亮节，那如果是我的话， 先谢谢人家，然后还是要提一句这个rule。
