They get one point for each game they win in a tie. If the team that wins the fourth set is leading the tie, the tie will be over. If the team that win the fourth set will be trailing in the match, the match goes to overtime. If the leading team win one game in overtime, it win the match tie. If the overall game score becomes equal, a first to 10 'super shoot-out tiebreak will be played, which will be worth one game point plus two bonus points.
