This tiebreaker wording is. at best. confusing. The wording does not say the alliance with most of its robots in scoring position, nor does it say the alliance with the most robots in its scoring position. The former interpretation would lead to a valid tiebreaker, while the later interpretation would be an irrelevant tiebreaker. It would be my guess and that is exactly what it is. a guess, that the referees will use the first interpretation if the need arrises in the tiebreakers. I am in total agreement with Joe on doing away with the tiebreakers in the games. By eliminating the tiebreakers, the games would run more smoothly. No delays in the scoring, therefore, speeding up the process. without any sacrifice in the quality of the competition. The 2X score in the event of a tie still leaves incentive for both alliances to win the game. Anytime we can speed up the flow, without sacrificing the quality of the competition, it has the potential of allowing more games to be played. We all want to play the game as often as we can. I think we can all agree with that.
