I might get a little crap for posting this, but YES. I was scorekeeper during eliminations, so I can (briefly) explain.

FMS counted the second match as a win for red (as the stock tiebreaking algorithm was in use). We then played the tiebreaker as the third match, and since red won (forcing a 4th match), we replayed the tiebreaker. We would have had to replay either that or the tiebreaker for the 4th match to ensure correct advancement.

I won't give specifics, but often the rule changes at IRI require some workarounds to execute in FMS. Usually they are minor and unless you were working the scoring table (like me) you would never notice.

Congrats to 2056, 118, 33, and 4587 on the win. They were great matches to watch (and in my case, scorekeep).
