So? This is a softball board, isn't it?

If you perceivea tie, your perception will be wrong. The ball or the runner got there first by at least a millionth (or billionth, or trillionth, etc.) of a second.

Yes, this is a softball board. Just making an observation. Not only are they games played two different ways, they are also officiated two different ways.
