Ooh, you're right. I hadn't even considered that all of the first three matches could be ties (no matter how unlikely.) And I bet FIRST must not have considered it either. I'm just wondering why they decided to change the rule in the first place. What's wrong with taking the highest match score as the tie breaker? (Or maybe they did think of the possibility of three ties, and that's why they changed it. They just didn't think hard enough about their new rule.)
