In the result of a tie, control went to the Blue Alliance for even numbered rounds and the Red Alliance for the odd numbered rounds. During eliminations, a coin was flipped to make it more random.

While in play, a Goldenball scored 4 points for the alliance in control of it for rolling across the finish line and 10 points for being hurdled. A Goldenball scored no bonus points for sitting on top of the overpass at the end of the match.

Missed one little part Tim. In the event of a tie after the alliance was selected to receive the golden trackball it was entered onto the field at one minute remaining in the match by one of the referees.
