Swiss Playoff Tournament Rules

In a Swiss tournament, alliances play other alliances with a similar running score. There will be 3 Rounds in the Tournament. Alliance 1 plays 2, 3 plays 4, 5 plays 6, etc. After each round, the alliances are re-ranked. Alliances will not play the same alliance twice. There are no timeouts.
 
The rankings are as follows:
  1. Win/Loss (2 pts for win, 1pt for tie, 0pts for loss)
  2. Cumulative Match score
  3. Cumulative CARGO points
  4. Cumulative HATCH PANEL points
  5. Cumulative HAB Climb Bonus points
  6. Least amount of foul points
  7. Random
Top two ranked Alliances at the end of the 3rd Round of the Swiss Tournament will advance to the Finals for a best of three per traditional playoff rules to crown the 2019 HAVOC Champions.
