IF a tie between Hiarcs and Fishka...

will there be tiebreak points awarded or a playoff match?

I do not know what the rules are if it is tied - but if we are awarded 2nd I wont cry and complain like all the fan boys did over the Paderborn decision/rules.

Rybka drew its last round game with Toga. So if Hiarcs defeats Sjeng it wins the tournament.
