Hi,

last tournament I played some players ended tied with the same Victory Points and SoS. Which is the guideline to resolve that tie if no one played with each other?

Let them play each other?

If they had the same record, say 2-1, and they had same SOS, then I'd say go by points destroyed/lost as the way to break the tie. If somehow that's exactly the same as well, I guess just flip a coin and hope they are civil about it.

Have them fight to the death.

Will there be some big reason things can't end in a tie? If there are awards they could combine them then split them evenly. If there is something that can only be a "one of" let them decide who gets what or flip a coin to see who gets that most desirable thing.

Officially, FFG has still YET to add another tie breaker beyond head to head and SoS. Unofficially, they added OSoS for their other games (given they're all card games and this is a mini, so there are differences)... I would personally go with opponent SoS as the next tie breaker since that seems to be what FFG wants, and just forgot to add to XWM Tourney rules. From there, if there's still a tie (unlikely but possible), then I would go to net points destroyed. I personally prefer destroyed/lost ratio, but a ratio is not a standard tie breaker rule, where as net points are.

I'm with the above.

Bring back Gladiator Combat! Range rulers at five paces.

I would say that you needed another round.

I think Tournament Rules should explain how to break ties more thoroughly.

I don't think you'd find anyone arguing there. It's really pretty bad to not have something beyond SoS which can end up tied fairly easily especially in smaller events.
