NOTES:

in case of equality of points the ranking will be decided by tie-break using Buchholz system as the first tie-break; However, the prizes will be split based on the number of points accumulated (for example, if three players accumulate the same number of points for the first position, the prizes from first, second, and third places will be added and split equal between the three players; the next prizes will start from position number four and split as described before, and so on)
