To break a tie, go down the list and compare answers of the teams involved in the tie. Starting at the first question, the first team to have an incorrect answer is removed from the running for the placing where the tie occurred. (e.g., Team A and B are tied Team A got correct answers on 3, 4, and 7, Team B got correct answers for only 3 and 4, Team A wins and there is no need to continue.) The 10 questions are: 3. C 4. D 7.
