Some questions still remain after the Eagle’s matchup with the Findlay Roughnecks last night.

The match concluded with both teams possessing a final score of 16. Officials brought out the rulebook and decided upon the third tiebreaker scenario concluding that Findlay would get the win.

The second tiebreaker then compares the total number of falls, forfeits, defaults and disqualifications. This scenario did not break the tie either.

The third tiebreaker is total number of points scored between the two teams. Findlay broke the tie in this category, leading Ashland 45-38. One point was added to the team’s score, and Findlay was declared the winner, 17-16.
