Michigan State Championships???

The quick answer is "they didn't". There is some oddity between the way FIRST presents eliminations matches (they apparently don't handle >3 matches in a pairing elegantly), and that confuses TBA, who uses the FIRST data to fill their pages (and beautifully, too, I might add :-) ).

The first finals match ended in an 18-18 TIE ! I think the next was 15-13 RED, then 8-13 BLUE, and finally 14-12 RED.

something similar happened when you look at the Lone Star Regional

Thank you very much.

and Northstar didnt actually end in a tie, but FIRST page says so too. There were actually 2 ties and 2 Red wins if you check FRC-Spy which interprets frcfms on twitter . Lots of places to find the data, sometimes you have to cross check them with each other
