Championship Mobility

The way the championships work is funny. In chess, 2.1.1 isn't even over, but you can already tell who the favorites will be in 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, assuming they don't get put in the same section.

The rules say that the top 3 finishers are guaranteed to not drop a level. I wonder what would happen if, say, 4 people tied for the 1st in each of x.2.1 and x.2.2. sections. That would make 11 people slated for the 9 spots in (x+1).1.1. I guess it would be determined randomly or the (x+1).1.1 section would be expanded.
