In case of scores being equal, tie-breaker rules will be applicable as mentioned below: In case of total score of two teams being equal, the board numbers of the players on which the team scored points will be added. Team which has a lower sum will be declared as winner.

18

For example consider two teams A and B, and assume the team A scores 2 points by winning on first and second board whereas team B won its matches on third and fourth board. So in this case team A (which has a total of 3 against 7 of team B) will be declared winner. Similarly team winning on 1st board and 3rd board will get preference over team winning on 2nd and 4th board. In case of the sum of the boards being equal i.e. say team A won on boards one and four whereas B won on second and third board, preference will be given to the team whose first player has won. So a combination of one four will be preferred over two three.
