Do you switch lanes after a tie?

My 3DBM finish lines registered a true tie...pretty cool...but never thought about when a tie happens if you should switch lanes for the next heat?

Do you consider a tie a do-over, or just that's the way it is and carry on in order like you would if someone had won?

I can't say this has ever come up for me, or at least not for a long, long time...

I switch the lanes...but a tie resets the race at 0-0 for the cars

Ahhh...okay, that sounds fair enough. So you effectively start over. — redlinederby
Yep....brings the slate back to even...win 2 in a row is win 2 in a row...no way a tie let's that happen — LeagueofSpeed
I'll make a reminder to add that rule to the event template — redlinederby

I re-race, it very rarely happens but its pretty neat when it does. I also don't usually don't do the 2 wins in a row format anymore as it can be far too time consuming.

I rerun the cars in the same lanes when I get a tie... BUT.. if I ever get a 2nd tie(hasn't happened yet), I will switch the lanes...

Still waiting for the elusive 3 or 4 car tie!
