If draw, we just have "co-champions". three tied. three rounds of 45/15. a plays b, b plays c c plays a. If any ties are left, we have co-champions. Otherwise, let's play blitz from the start. I see no valid reasoning to use blitz to tie-break a "standard time-control" event. Having co-champions is (IMHO) better than a crap-shoot blitz match, where quick searches often lead to wins/losses that have little to do with the actual playing skill of the programs being used..
