So ties are a bit difficult to accommodate. My best solution is to give myself a tie-breaking vote based on my opinion. But I don’t want my input to determine the outcome of my own competition. It’s just not the way I want to run UAT. So, ties are possible. But I don’t want last season’s finals situation to be repeated. Therefore, **if anyone has any suggestions for measures for tie-breaking, please feel free to reply to those (it would help ALOT.)** ---

You just reminded me actually. Time for some **Odds Voting**! _(P.S. Please don’t vote for yourself, the voters are public :/)_ ## Who will win each conference? _(a.k.a who will be in the championship)_ _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.makecode.com/t/unique-a-thon-2-non-official-game-jam/19695/322))_ - “AT” means All-Time, so the contestant’s All-Time ranking on the forums **(doesn’t really mean anything)** ---

My idea for a tiebreaker is to compare the date when the game was submitted (not the time because of approvals, yk). The person who submitted first should win in the tie since they made an equally good game in less time. In case that both games are submitted (or approved) on the same day, there should be some third option (hopefully it doesn’t come to that) This is just something I came up with off the top of my head, you could implement some kind of variation of it if you’d like ---

Maybe you could force those who tied to compete in another challenge to make a tiebreaker @unique ? ---

@Unique A little warning, I might ask for an extension this round! I am in a summer art program at college which takes up most of my energy and time. I do have time in the evenings, so I may not need an extension, but just a heads up! ---

I don’t really got much time to do this and the game jam at the same time. It was my birthday and I barely got time to code so now i’m WAY of schedule. ---

I understand, I just don’t really know how to manage to avoid the main jam. Obviously that one is more important, but I’m not really sure how to accommodate for that. ---
