Answered: Programming Challenge tie breaker

[murdomeek]

in the Appendix it says that:

In the case where two teams are tied for the highest score, the tie will be broken by looking at both teams’ next highest programming skills match score.

in our scenario robot “A” and robot “B” both scored 22 points in the challenge
robot “B” had two trials with 16 points and 22 points
but robot “A” only had one trial with 22 points

what is the definition of “next highest score”?
since team “A” only did the challenge once, will their “next highest score” be 0 or 22 points?

will team “A” or team “B” win?
thanks

In the ideal situation, Team A would be given an opportunity to make a second run. If Team A scored more than 16 points in their second run, they would be declared the winner. If it is not possible for Team A to make a second run, then Team B would be declared the winner.
