| Tie break |
Since 1975, the ICU practice and/or policy was that two eligible tied players would share the title, but (since at least 1982) for three or more a tie-break would apply. In 1982 and 1996, three-way ties were resolved by tie-break to produce a single champion. For 1982, the tie-break method was progressive / cumulative.
For 2012, the tie-break method if three or more eligible players was specified (late in the event) as Median Buchholz. It was not specified whether that would decide a single champion or two joint champions.
For 2014, the published rules specified that a tie between three or more eligible players would result in the top two on tie-break sharing the title. This was the first time in an Irish championship that such a rule was adopted before the event. |
