In Response To: BGO vs. BGO Tie Vote Compromise (Jason Lee)

I think Jason's proposal is fine, and I'd rather start the match than continue to argue about how to handle ties. Yes, there are potential flaws, but every other way of resolving it has flaws too. I'd say let's give this idea a try for the first match, and if it's not working for us we can change it for match 2. Or earlier if it's really a disaster.

I view these kinds of matches as primarily a learning experience and that the results are not as important as interesting discussions of checker and cube play. A second round of discussion following a tie vote goes hand in glove with this idea. Difficult play resulting in a deadlock? More discussion. Sounds like a fine idea.
