While 3 match elimination rounds aren't uncommon, they are certainly not the norm. And a 4 match elimination round almost never happen - let alone a 4 match final! Yet, that's exactly what happened in LA this past weekend...(12-12, 10-14, 10-8, 3-9)
The vids are amazing...

It appears FIRST doesn't even have provisions for such an occurrence.

I was wondering if anyone else knew of any other 4 match elimination rounds - in any year.
Furthermore, I think we might have set a highest tie score in the country for 2010 at 12-12, but wanted to see if anyone else had seen anything higher.
