Who "wins" if there's multiple teams with green tokens to fill-in? Is it then based on first-come-first-serve?
Regarding your example, using the red and yellow can only be done when fully inspected. So, this is not going to happen early as much as you think.
Regarding tie breakers, it has to be first-come-first-served. It would be this way if you did not have tokens. But with the tokens, it should happen a lot less often and eliminate much of the chaos.
