Regardless of the exact tiebreakers that were tied, getting an actual tie in eliminations is a pretty tough feat to pull off.

Sorry - Head still a bit foggy from the weekend. Yes... All things equal
zero foul points, equal assists, auto, and TC.

The announcer stated "both teams played equally well" but after watching the match - putting the zero foul points aside, and focusing on the 39 -39 final score, I think both alliances would agree that for this match at least they played "equally badly". It was not either's shining moment...both were actually great alliances.

There was another tie in eliminations at Hub City. The #3 alliance wound up losing to the #7 alliance due to having fewer assist points.

One of the robots on the #3 alliance (ours) had been struggling with a disconnected controller, and forced the tie at the last second with a high goal. We lost the next match due to a technical foul.

On the plus side, we got the chance to watch an amazing set of finals by the #7 alliance, who came within one match of bumping off the #2, #3, and #1 alliances.
