Talked with Tom. Here is my proposal to solve any tie situations:

Rules for the QUALIFIER ROUND:

- Top 2 teams with highest scores qualify. In case of tie with a 3rd team, the following rules apply:

a) look at individual score of each of the 4 players of the two tied teams. Let the team with the highest individual score qualify (easy to see as the game already computes this)

b) if after a) there is still a tie, count the # of 1st places for the tied teams. let the team with most 1st places qualify. if # of 1st places is also tied, count # of 2nd places, and then # of 3rd places, etc until tie is broken.


Rules for the TIEBREAKER ROUND:

Tie breaker round is won if:
a) your team has highest points
b) in case of tie, your team has the first car to cross finish.

Is it that unlikely?

Supposedly my team mate is less skilled than me. That means I could escape and become 1st. But my 2 opponents gang up against my poor team mate, resulting in them becoming 2nd and 3rd and my team mate 4th.

Ok so that means 'winning' is defined as B) in my post above. If I get 1st place I still can lose the tie breaker if my team mate is doing badly.

This however raises some more questions:

Question 1: What happens when two teams tie for points (happens if team A has 1st and 4th place, and team B has 2nd and 3rd place). Any way to resolve that?

Question 2: The tie breaker has 3 teams? I understand there is the two teams from both lobbies that finished 3rd at the end of the 10-race qualifier. So who is the 3rd team in the tie breaker now?

Its confusing cause you dont understand the problem im trying to tackle :(

Ok different approach:

Tell me: How does my team win the tie breaker? Define winning.

Yes.... but, what about the tie breaker????

What math is needed?

For tie breaker there is 4 cars competing, 2 from 2 teams. You guys keep telling who ever wins the tie breaker qualifies.

My problem: define 'winning'.

Is 'winning':
A) Whichever out of 4 cars comes first means that team wins, and so if Im 1st and my team mate is 10th, we still qualify.
or
B) Counting the points of both cars of a team, and then the team with the highest points total wins?

If its A) then its all clear. If its B) then I have a follow up question xD

So it only matters who is first out of the 4 cars then? The result of the 2nd car (team mate) is irrelevant.

Ok. So, both 3rd placed teams enter tiebreaker, thats 4 cars?
And then whats the criterium for winning the tiebreaker?

+1 for the usual time from me as well.

Or just make the rules now Rayz if you take over?
