There is a tie-breaker round (comprising of five questions) at Level 2. If there is more than one winner in Level 2, then the marks obtained in the Tie-Breaker Round are taken into consideration. If there is still a tie, then the scores of the Brain box section of Level 2 are considered. In case of a further tie, we refer to the total scores obtained at Level 1. In case of yet a further tie, the brain box scores of Level 1 are taken into consideration.
