Who determines final placements when tie-breakers apply?

The final placements when ties occur are determined by the official tie-breaker criteria published in the Rulebook. When competitors end up with equal totals, the judge applies the tie-breakers in the order and manner specified by the Rulebook to break the tie and assign the final rankings. This provides a consistent, objective method that applies at all shows. The audience, the event organizer, or a judge’s personal preference do not determine the outcome.
