Playoff Average Tiebreaker "Extra Point" math

While studying to be a referee for this year's game, I've come up with an odd question. I can't ask it on Q&A since I'm not really on a team anymore, but I'll post it here and I'm hoping somebody would be so kind as to ask it on Q&A for me (or point out to me something blindingly obvious that I'm missing, which is also entirely possible). Thanks.

Section 5.4.3 “Playoff Advancement” says “In the case where the average score of two (2) or more ALLIANCES is equal, the tie is broken by awarding an additional point to the ALLIANCE’s average score using the tiebreaker rules shown in Table 5-2.” Does that mean that if alliance 1 has a Playoff Average of 100.00, and alliances 2 and 3 each have a Playoff Average of 99.50 but alliance 3 scored more Auto points than alliance 2, that alliance 3 would end up as seed #1 for the next round due to having an effective average of 100.50 due to the extra point added to break the tie?

I'm assuming that's not what was intended, but the “awarding an additional point” seems like it may end up doing something like that. It gets even weirder if there are three or more alliances tied at the same Playoff Average.
