Obviously such a player would win the title outright and no tie-break would be needed.
But seriously, I thought I had clarified that I was more concerned about them being ELIGIBLE to win. It could certainly apply to other national titles or is it only to apply to the main title.
I was not in favour of any tie-break. Council decided on performance (probably the least bad). How you determine performance is a problem but whichever way will usually favour the lower rated. My personal preference would be for a maximum of 2 or 3 sharing the title and tie-break only coming in if more than that finish first equal.
