> The issue that I see with all the tie break resolutions is that you end up deciding the outcome of the game, based on something other than playing the game. I think that’s the point. You had your chance to win the game and it took too long, so now you play a shorter, modified version of the game to determine a winner. The same criticism could be leveled at 8v8 soccer that “it’s not soccer”. Your team depth matters less and your stars matter more. It would create injuries to “extend play”, not to mention creating boring 2 or 3 hour long 1-0 matches.
