Even at J.O. Nationals, last year, two and three way ties Thu, 22 Mar 2007 17:05:12 GMT bartmanvb http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/gevaofficials/message/13 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/gevaofficials/message/13 I know the game has changed, and I embrace most of the changes, some take longer for me to accept, but I do recognize that the game has changed for the better Wed, 21 Mar 2007 18:29:10 GMT jhbvb http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/gevaofficials/message/10 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/gevaofficials/message/10 The original post had the following statement in it.

That is, a two-way or three-way tie for 2nd place. In the past, there Wed, 21 Mar 2007 17:16:07 GMT gevarulestalk http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/gevaofficials/message/6 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/gevaofficials/message/6 I am also worried that this is leading to other lax calls at the lower levels.

That was a response a GEVA ref gave us when we asked why none of the horrendous sets that we had just witnessed had been called.
