6. In the event of a tie for first place and overall Team Series Champion the following tie breaks will be initiated and they will be initiated in the following order
   • Of the racers tied for 1st place – whoever has the most race ‘wins’
   • Of the racers tied for 1st place – whoever has the most points in head-to-head events
     • This means events where the tied racers participated in same race
     • This means ‘started a race’ – a DNF counts as 0 points in this situation
   • Of the racers tied for 1st place – Lowest cumulative head-to-head time
     • Example: the tied racers competed head to head in 2 events. Their overall time for the 2 events is added up and the lowest cumulative time determines the winner
   • In the event that racers are still tied for 1st place there will be joint 1st place
7. In the event of a tie for 2nd and 3rd place the same process will be followed as 6. above
