I agree possibility of three ties is remote, but in my first life I was a mathematician; I think of these things.
I suspect the reason the highest match score is being used is it is an unsatisfying finish. This is same reason most soccer players hate a tournament to end with a shootout.
Such things are best settled on the field.
