Winner: the player with the most wins. Tie-breakers, in order:
Wins vs. those tied if they have all played each other, otherwise 'matchpoints' (see the
CA tournament regulations).
Net index point gain (so wins played level against a stronger opponent count for more than
handicap wins).
"Quality of wins" (i.e. number of wins scored by defeated opponents).
Wins within time.
There will also be a consolation prize for the player, other than the winner, with the largest net index point gain.
Whites are optional (but the manager thinks they look nice).
