There are no ties! Either the runner gets there first, or the ball does. That's what you get the big bucks for - your judgment.
Having said that, when it is awful close, my natural reaction is to call SAFE. I don't know why, I just do it. I don't think about it, it happens automatically.
Conversely, I've seen umpires that call all close plays OUT. I guess that it's just who you are, and what internal triggers you have. I am not sure that you can train yourself to evaluate those calls; I think that it's your natural reaction and "you make the call."
