Re: Do We have a trend here?

I don't think that ties are as big of a problem as Time-Outs are. While it is statistically unlikely that a tie will happen, nevermind two or three, TO's are givens.

With 4 QF's, 2 SF, and 1 Final round, Times 2 alliances, Times 6 minutes, there's the possibility that you will be at a competition for an extra 84 minutes, just sitting around waiting for a match. At the GLR, I estimate that we were sitting around for at least 45 min during these such timeouts.

Incedently, why the heck did the Red alliance call timeout in the Finals while the Blue teams were only a minute into their own timeout? Seems like a waste to me...
