Not sure, but there would then be 3 and 4 way ties in DS. I guess I
would rather know I lost by .001 than to be called a tie. It think the
accuracy we time to also tells something about what kind of competition
this is. But what I really have gotten out of this thread is that I in
fact could have beaten D.F. for third place in '98 based on timer
error. Hey Dave, I say let's call it a tie! :)
