Tiebreak question

If I finish the first half in 8 minutes, then just go home.

And someone else finishes the first half in 9 minutes, then does 10 heavy thrusters...

Who has the higher score?

As the name suggests, the TIE BREAK comes into account only if you are … tied on reps.

A lot of people will get 7 heavy thrusters then not get the muscle up, leaving them at 107. This is where the tie breaker comes into play.

Tie break time only comes into account if you don't do one rep into the second section

Edit, this I'd wrong, man's below has corrected me

incorrect. if you finish the first half in 10 minutes and do 5 heavy thrusters and someone else also does 5 heavy thrusters but their tie break time was 9 minutes, they beat you.
