I'll second that.  Last year's blitz playoff was very exciting, but a slow game
would have been a more appropriate way to break the tie.  Since we only play 4
rounds on Sunday, we should have enough time to play another 45+10 game.

I'm not sure what should be done for a 3-way tie.  Finish the next weekend?
