Raul the Magificent is right... ...again

Raul,

I think you are right.

It seems to me that for all their complexity, FIRST never really thinks through all of their tie breakers before they publish them.

For my money, I think that FIRST should just eliminate tie breakers entirely.

We have not had tie breakers for years at the Chief Delphi Invitational and it works great.

A tie is a tie -- In seeding rounds, both alliances get 2X their score. In elimination rounds, a tie remains a tie and the match is replayed. It will not add that much time to the tourney. If teams do get into in infinite tie loop, then apply an easy to use tie breaker but only after 3 or more ties -- this is not a very likely event.

Bottom line: FIRST should eliminate the tie breakers.

Joe J.
