In the case of a tie, the highest score in the Gold Rush drill among the tied players will be used to break the tie. If there's still a tie, the highest score from Heads-Up Handles and QM2 Drill will be used.

Participants may replay the competition as often as they wish to achieve the highest score possible. If a user replays the competition and obtains a lower score than their previous high score, the last high score will still be retained.
