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?
I'll check out the OP. Maybe I didn't specify but ranks are sorted as such:

1 - Your overall score
2 - Head to head: TB, checks to see if you had beaten the opp you are tied with
3 - Strength of victory: Points Difference, so 3-0s give you a better points difference than 3-2
4 - Strength of schedule: Bucholz, how strong your opps were

So ideally, you want to win all your rounds 3-0 and want the opps you played to do as good as possible after that.
