    What is the criteria for breaking a tie at any level of bracket play?

    They are in the Tournament Rules. Please look them up.

    If scores are tied they compare individual hole scores starting with the last hole and tracking back to Hole #1.

    If the cards are identical then whoever posted first wins.

    Not the primary ties rule, I'm afraid. Please look up the Tournament Rules.

    OTOH, we'll not be able to check it, without the scorecards.

    Pardon, the rules I stated were for stroke play tournaments back when I was a regular here.  It appears they have been updated in my absence, so I'll need a refresher.

    The bracket tiebreak rules are:

    http://www.wgt.com/help.aspx#bracket

    In the event of a tie, the better scoring entrant between or among the tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final nine (9) holes of the Game. If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final six (6) holes for such Game. If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final three (3) holes for such Game. If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest score for the 18th hole (9th for nine hole games) in such Game, and any remaining ties will be determined by identifying the lowest scoring entrant for each individual game hole, in sequence from 17th (8th for nine hole games) through to 1st, as is necessary to determine a winner, and if any ties remain at that point, the earlier-submitted entry between or among the tied entries will be deemed the better scoring entry.

    C'mon alosso I know you can be more helpful than that.  Give 'em the goods. =)

    Hope that helps Snuffy.  Hit 'em well.

    I rather teach fishing than give away fish - it's more helpful in the long term.
