If the both players have the same number of Prize cards remaining: An overtime match will be held until winning conditions have been met; or until one of the players has fewer Prize cards and will be declared the winner. (2) If time runs out before the second game ends: If the second game hasn't started yet; or if both players have 3 or more Prize cards remaining: The winner of the first game will be declared the winner. If both players have 2 or less Prize cards remaining: The player with the least amount of Prize cards remaining will be declared the winner.

If there is a tie due to the "Match rules for Official and Sanctioned Tournaments" Sudden death (only 1 Prize card per player) will be held and the winner of the Sudden death will be declared the winner of that game. If the winner of the second game is also the winner of the first game, then that player will be declared the winner of that match. If the winner of the second game is not the winner of the first game, then Sudden death will be held and the winner of the Sudden death will be declared the winner of the match.
