Re: Fouls and Tiebreakers

But for each event a playoff match was decided by a tie, there would be, at minimum, 6.5 minutes added to the schedule, once you include field reset for the typical match turnaround. Add in another 5 minutes for an expected field timeout caused by teams having to play back to back matches. Sure, it doesn't really sound like much - another 11.5 minutes... But multiplied by 18 you have several hours added to event schedules across FIRST. And they are all added on the final day of the event, when teams with a long drive home might be itching for things to get over (especially if that team is no longer playing and is just waiting for the awards) so they can get on their bus.

In other threads people have been exploring the length of Einstein... If we got rid of a tiebreaker, we would have had to add another back to back match, meaning a field timeout, commentary, videos... It would have made the event even longer than it already was.
