NOTE: The Bedlam on Baltic Avenue does not select a single closest race of the round in the event of more than one winning margin being the same. It will, however, pick a winner in the case of races being tied if the ISML does not impose a tie-breaking vote. The opinion by the Bedlam is that there must be a winner and loser to every match in the International Saimoe League.
