Rule that there can't be a tie during qualifications? What rulebook are you reading?

During eliminations and ranking are the only places there can't be a tie. Ties in qualifications are 1 ranking point plus whatever coop points you get. Ties in eliminations are settled by a defined set of tiebreakers--no coin flip, though.
Ties in ranking are settled by a different defined set of tiebreakers--that's where the coin flip comes in.
