with number of wins (apparently) being first tie break he would have been in the mix with Tate (assuming he only drew) and Grant... (Sreeves and McNab only have 4 wins)
Not true I'm afraid
For the Commonwealth, it was the prescribed FIDE tiebreaks (game v player, number of wins, number of blacks etc etc)
