If two or more nations receive the same score and end up in a tied position in the results; if the position is essential for the outcome of the results, including the positions for winning, qualifying for the final or prequalifying for the final of the next edition, the tie has to be broken using the tie-breaker system as follows. Priority should be given after which nation’s entry received points from the higher amount of nations, with the one receiving points from the most nations given top priority. If there’s still a tie, meaning any of the nations involved in the tie received points from the same amount of nations, priority between the still-tied nations should be given after which nation’s entry received the most sets of points with the value of 12. If the tie still lingers, the procedure should be repeated by counting the amount of 10-point sets, if necessary continuing with sets of 8 and so on all the way down the available point values. If the tie still cannot be broken after counting the received sets of 1 point, priority should be given randomly at the host or collector’s discretion (with the exception of waiting list jury results, see section below). If a tie is for a position of no importance to the outcome, the tie does not have to be broken and the tied nations share their position in the results. Positions following the tie should be numbered as if the tie was broken rather than continuing from the next number.
