Hey Starval, I'd like to ask a clarification for the ties.
In OP it says: "The Top 3 Qualify for the 2016 WC Grand Finals (Bucholz system to break ties, tie breakers played at end if necessary with the last class remaining)"
So my understanding is that ranking goes by this order:
1) Score (number of games won +1 per match)
2) Buchholz
3) Nothing else! --> Match with last class
Is the points of difference completely irrelevant?
Of course they determine the pairings now, but in the final standing I assume it doesn't matter if you won all games 3-0 or 3-2, right?
Oddly based off the OP you are better off winning everything 3-2.
