Tie Breaker Criteria for Round Robin Brackets

Would there be a way to have the software set a tie-breaking criteria for contestants that have an identical win/loss record.  At least have tie breaking criterion printed at the bottom of the Round-Robin brackets so tournament personnel can determine placement.  

Also give option to allow the bracket worker to input final placement prior to final results being printed for the brackets.

Re: Tie Breaker Criteria for Round Robin Brackets

While it won't address all of your requests, version 7.0.0 of TournamentSR will always break ties for Round-Robin contestants that end up with the same wins/losses.  This is needed to ensure pool placers are properly advanced to the pool finals.

Version 7.0.0 is getting final feature updates and will be released some time before June.

For scholastic wrestling, the rules are:
A) Most pins
B) Most tech falls
C) Most major decisions
D) Higher seed position as shown on the Seeding window

For college wrestling:
A) Most pins
B) Most tech falls with near fall
C) Most tech falls without near fall
D) Most major decisions
E) Higher seed position as shown on the Seeding window

Note that the last rule specifies either random selection of tie winner (wrestlers are randomly placed into the Round-Robin brackets) or seeding-based selecting of the tie winner (purposefully seeding wrestlers in the Round-Robin brackets).
