I think it's generally possible to force a win at some point... but sometimes you miss it and then you are in tie city. It hasn't happened to me too often. I should look up my record on SDG to find out how often. I've never had a tie IRL that I can recall. I do remember when Aaron and I had many ties at the end of a tournament on SDG. I looked over one of the games and found my mistake. I didn't go through the exercise for all the games. -JEEP
