10. Results computation:

    10.1 - Men's Team:  The result of Men's Team shall be
           based on the total victory points of the team
           players, where the "victory points" of each team
           member is defined as the total number of
           contestants plus one minus the ranking of the
           player in Men's Individual; the higher the total
           victory points of the team, the higher the
           position.
           If the scores of two or more teams are identical,
           the team with a higher rank player comes ahead.
    10.2 - Men's Individual:  The result of Men's Individual
           shall be determined by the accumulated match
           points achieved.  In case of identical scores, the
           ranking is determined by the accumulated
           opponents' points and the number of violations in
           that sequence.
    10.3 - Women's Individual:  The result of Women's
           Individual shall be determined by the accumulated
           match points achieved.  In case of identical
           scores, the ranking is determined by the
           accumulated opponents' points of round robin (the
           total number of accumulated match points of
           opponents with winning result, and half of the
           accumulated match points of opponents with a draw),
           the direct game result between the two players,
           and the number of violations in that sequence.
    10.4 - Non-Chinese Individual:  The result of Non-Chinese
           Individual is determined by their placing in Men's
           Individual.
