# Tiebreaking In addition to the list of teams, each scorecard will also receive a random integer between 1 and n (with n being the maximum amount of entries for that contest) that will serve as a **tie-breaking coefficient. Each ticket will have a unique tie-breaking coefficient.** In the event of a tie between two or more scorecards on the SquareUp leaderboard, each scorecard's **tie-breaking coefficient** will be used and the lower coefficient will win. A tie-breaking coefficient of 1 is the strongest and will win all tie-breaking scenarios. The tie-breaking coefficient will be easily visible on the ticket's image and meta data. **Example**: Two scorecards are tied for first place at the end of the contest. Scorecard A: Contains a tie-breaking coefficient of 4 Scorecard B: Contains a tie-breaking coefficient of 7 Scorecard A would finish in first place, Scorecard B would finish in second place. The use of a tie-breaking coefficient further gamifies the experience by slightly adjusting each scorecard's value. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
