Whoops. Guess I spoke too soon. I hope that this makes FIRST reconsider how tiebreakers work in eliminations for next season - they shouldn't be deciding events like this. Tiebreakers are okay sometimes (low-scoring games like breakaway might need them), but when they're not well-understood by more than 3/4 the audience
and participants, that's when they become not okay.
I heard the explanation loud and clear over the webcast, but I haven't heard much on how it went over in the dome.

That, or otherwise designated on the screen what the tiebreaker was. Highlighting the tiebreaking aspect of the score, or putting text on the bottom of the screen saying "TIEBREAKER: FOULS" (etc) would also help tremendously.
Also, just in case I can actually predict the future with my posts, calling it now, 2056 is going to win Einstein next year (or whatever the #2Champz equivalent is), and wouldn't it be great if they were paired with 341...
