Why is in daily tournaments not considered if participants have equal points, time per movement as maybe second/third criteria for passing through group?
All that matters is a score and tiebreaks if they are being used

Thanks. Does anyone know if it is legal to use books and databases. Or, even better, can someone tell me where I can find the rules for daily chess?
Books and databases are legal. Engines and tablebases are not. https://support.chess.com/en/articles/8583921-what-counts-as-cheating-on-chess-com

Most of the tournaments I host it appears that ,if players have a tied score qualifying in preliminary rounds,they both advance. Tie breaks only apply after the final round. Is this unusual?

That shouldn’t be the case.
Can you post a link to such a tournament?
All of them. I have 61 daily tournaments going on right now, and many hundred before that,over the years. In everyone if two players have a tied score qualifying, in the preliminary rounds, they both advance. Tiebreakers only apply after the final round

Finding tournaments that have both completed groups and ties in the ground isn't very easy from the arches, so examples are best.
It skiy be noted that Daily uses a single tiebreak, so if a person qualifies to move forward and another player has the same score and tiebreak, they also move forward. Without tiebreaks, the same scores move forward.

Here we have an average typical tournament seeing tied players advancing,in a typical tournament that has selected the use of tie breaks.

That's as expected. The score and the tiebreaks are the same so both move forward.
