How are ties broken in FRC Crescendo matches?

In FRC Crescendo matches, ties are broken based on pre-defined tiebreaker criteria. This structured approach ensures that there is a clear and fair method for determining a winner in the event of a tie score. Pre-defined tiebreaker criteria may include factors such as the total score achieved, the number of game pieces scored, or other relevant performance metrics established by the rules of the competition. This systematic method helps maintain the integrity of the competition and ensures that outcomes are determined by consistent rules rather than arbitrary decisions.

Other methods like random draws, audience votes, or time taken to score points introduce elements that may not accurately reflect the performance of the teams, leading to potential biases or unfair advantages. The reliance on objective criteria helps create a level playing field and allows for clear communication and understanding among participants and fans alike.
