OTOH, from a spectators POV the most important thing is that this tourney ends at a specific day. (plus minus 2 hours are probably acceptable) Just ask spectators.. or imagine the final between two teams of your favourite sport and in case of a draw, they come back the next weekend and play again. It's terrible... Basically you have to commit to another weekend to be sure to see the end - and everyone wants to see the end. So here's my suggestion: In case of a tie for the first place, let's keep it a tie. :) Sargon
