Warren:

In none of the rules referenced do the words "perceived tie" exist. The perception is solely in the mind of the reader. Not one pro instructor or rules interpreter I have spoken with acknowledges that the rules are "intended" to award a so-called "tie" to anyone.

As you know the rule book is filled with inconsistency and error. Add to that, room for reader inference.

Since I do not subscribe to officiating.com I haven't read your piece on the matter, but from a practical, everyday, non-mental masturbation point of view, I'll go with the pro schools....there is no tie. There are only decisions to be made.
