If the score at the end of a match was tied, tie-break games would be played. First, two games at a time control of 25 minutes for the whole game plus 10 seconds increment per move. If the score was still tied, another two games would be played at a time control of 5 minutes with a 10-second increment per move. If the score was still tied after these four extra games, a single game of Armageddon Chess would be played where White had 6 minutes and Black had 5, with no increment; White must win the game whereas Black only needed to draw.
