Well, I learned (the hard way) that groups of 3, even with tiebreaks, makes it possible to still have a tie, which we had in one group. Chess.com admins were no help with this; they claimed they have no control once a tournament is in motion.  So, we ended up with an extra group of 2 instead of 3 groups of 3.  I apologize; I did not foresee this and have no control over it at this point.  All I can say is: good luck! and I have no idea what will happen from here out whether there is another tie or not...
