A Possible Slight Improvement

[jblay]

I'm watching some events where there is a tie in the eliminations and the tiebreakers come into play. For those unfamiliar with the rule in the case of a tie in the eliminations 1 point will be given to the team that was leading in the hybrid period.

It occurs to me that it is hard to keep track of who won hybrid when the match is coming to a close and the spectators are often confused by the score adjustment and an explanation has to be made. What I am suggesting is a 0.5 point bonus to the alliance that is ahead in the hybrid period in the elimination matches. Is the FMS capable of doing something like this?

Foul points is the first tiebreaker not HP.

Don't worry by knowing that there was a tie-breaker at all puts you ahead of about 95% of the participants.

Also, IMO, having a .5 would almost confuse people more, and just wouldn't look as clean.
