suggest to get rid of tie-breaker(was Re: BoB)

I don't understand why there has to be a tie-breaker?

In the course, some may be good at chipping, some may be good
at pudding, various styles display the beauty of golfing.

In Perl, some may be good at algorithm, some may be good
at regex, some may know all about POSIX:), thusly the
beauty of TMTOWTDI.

I also don't think it's easy to change tie-breaker rules
every round with overall fairness. After all, at beginning
of the competition no one knows the best solution (may apply
even at very end).

So I say, let tie be there, please.
