By height.

It might be. I was assuming that since there is a tiebreaker procedure for the end of the game now, that the same rough tiebreaker procedure would be implemented to determine ranking at the end of the first round as well.

This is correct. (Alex used to note this on the air, but it's been quite a while since I've heard him officially acknowledge it.)
