Every throw could make the difference
We add up all nine scored throws. If the leading totals are tied, here’s how we separate them:
- Most bullseyes: the tied scorecard with more bullseyes ranks higher.
- Count back from throw 9: if bullseyes are also tied, compare the ninth throw, then the eighth, seventh and so on back to the first. The higher score at the first difference wins.
- Still identical? The remaining tied entrants will be invited to a supervised sudden-death throw-off, free of charge. Each remaining entrant takes one throw per round. Scores are compared only after everyone has thrown; the highest score wins, or those tied for the highest score continue to another round until one winner remains.
For example, with equal totals and equal bullseye counts, a 7 on throw 9 beats a 5 on throw 9. If throw 9 is equal, compare throw 8 instead.
