Tie break rules for team battle

In the Swedish Chess Rapid Team Battle tonight several teams got the same score and everyboy is wondering about Liches tiebreak rules. If I understand correctly the rating perfomance is the decider in individual tournaments, but that seems not to be the case in team battles. It would be great to know TB in team battles once and for all :)
Ah, so the higher number of players gives you an advantage. Okay, that sounds fair. On elast thing. If both teams have the same amount of players?
@Slafsaren The number of players in a team battle doesn't matter. The Team Battle creator can set the number of the best players in a team whose results will be included in the final standings of the Team Battle. For example, only the results of the top 5 players in a team count for the final standings of a team battle. In this respect, the number of players does not matter!
@Slafsaren
You're right, rating performance is the tie break for team tournaments as well, but only the performance of the leaders. At least this was true for a couple of tournaments I have checked. Unfortunately this is not what is being displayed when you click on a team, there it only shows the performance of all players.
