Ties are inclusive, so if they are completely tied, both qualify.

Does this also hold true in Nationals where finalists qualify?

So if the fifth place is tied, all the tied players qualify even though only one of them goes to finals.

Historically, no, because there was a tie-breaker.
I wouldn't be opposed to it.

41 * 25% = 10.25 = 11 players
So, yes, all 12 you have listed are on the qualified players list.
(Can't have part of a player, so all decimals round up.)

Tie-breaker, gotcha!

Tried to look for this in the tournament rules but couldn't locate it. Probably just me...



I'm not opposed to this, but is tied fifth place in Nationals REALLY that different that having the last qualifier spot tied in an ECQ?

Losing due to tournament points is one thing but losing because of coin toss, well, suck a.. big time.
