   From the official rules (copied from the [1]ChessBase site):
   3.7 Tie-breaks
   3.7.1 If the scores are level after the regular twelve (12) games,
   after a new drawing of colours, four (4) tie-break games shall be
   played. The games shall be played using the electronic clock starting
   with 25 minutes on the clock for each player with an addition of 10
   seconds after each move.
   3.7.2 If the scores are level after the games in paragraph 3. 7.1,
   then, after a new drawing of colours, two (2) five-minute games shall
   be played with the addition of 10 seconds after each move.
   3.7.3 If the score is still level, the players shall play a single
   decisive sudden death game. The player, who wins the drawing of lots,
   may choose the colour. White shall receive 6 minutes, black shall
   receive 5 minutes, without any addition. In case of a draw the player
   with the black pieces is declared as winner.
