In the event of a tie, the following guidelines will be used to resolve the tie:
- If two individuals are tied for first place, both will receive first place, and the next ranked score will receive second place. A third place will not be awarded.
- If two individuals are tied for second place, both will receive second place. A third place will not be awarded.
- If more than two individuals are tied for first and/or second place, they will be rank ordered a second time based on their sum score for area #3 (Does the study address a gap in knowledge….). First, second, and third place awards will be assigned based on this second rank order.
There will also be 2 People’s Choice Awards voted live during the event. This award will be voted on by the attendees and based on the live presentations.
