Club Championship 5th Round Draw

The draw for the 5th round of the Club Championship has now been made and can be viewed here. Ideally, the top two games, which will decide the Championship, should be played before Christmas. The remaining games don't matter so much, but will still need to be played for rating purposes.

There is the possibility that there could be a 2 or 3 way tie, depending on results, and Tom would like your views on how to decide the winner in this instance. There are several ways we could do this - decide it based on the head to head results of the players concerned, have play-off games between the players concerned or, simplest of all, use the Performance Rating of the players concerned. The player with the highest Performance Rating for the tournament is deemed the winner as their games have been played against stronger opposition. Please let Tom know your thoughts.
