Tiebreakers
Create Tiebreak Set
Advance equal entries from each section - In speech and Congress, Tabroom's default is to advance the top X entries based on overall scores, which could mean more entries advance from one section than another. This button makes Tabroom advance an equal number of entries from each section or chamber instead.
Forfeits place last - This button will add a "No show" box to judges' ballots. If a judge clicks this button, it will automatically rank that entry last in the round.
3x Composite Ties get Middle Rank (CA) - If you're using a speech ruleset like the California Plan that uses composite re-ranks (re-rank the lowest cumulative score first), this button awards entries tied in a three-way tie the middle rank. For example, three entries tied for first place would all receive a rank of 2.
