With limited numbers of contests, more discussion needs to go into
selecting a winner if the final score is a tie. Imagine this year
if your alliance scored a few hundred points and ending up losing
due to a 'tie breaker'. The hockey comparison works well for me. Teams
ending in a tie get ''2'' points each. Or something else in the ''middle'.
Unless the new game has some other factor that would be able to fairly
seclect the winner in a tie score situation.




: But as long as you are using sports as an analogy, let's take it this direction: when it comes time for seeding
: for playoffs in basketball, hockey, etc, it is your win/loss average that gets you where you want to go. Take
: the NHL (my team is snickering right now - they know my love for hockey). Wins are worth 2 points, ties are
: worth one, losses worth nothing. The team with the most points is the top seed. No opinion, no how many
: goals did you score, no penalty minutes. Just whether you won or lost.
