Ok, then I am reading the first sentence of 5.4.4 incorrectly.

(Emphasis mine.)
If each of the first six tie-breaker criteria fails to break the tie, the match is replayed (emphasis mine) -- in which case the tie is never recorded, and the replay result is. I think the sentence above should be change to end "... Win or Loss." Since all Playoff ties are broken, teams cannot earn a tie.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
