So, this begs the question... what happens in the event of a tie?

Per prior precedent, whenever this comes to pass, the percentage scores carried forward will be the correct ones (50% apiece) and the match won goes to whichever collection would produce the most balanced result.

By ‘most balanced result’ I assume you mean the one which would reduce the gap between the two in the table by the most (i.e. whichever is behind the other)? So in this case Zoo Berlin?

In this case, yes - but in general whenever the situation arises it will be case-by-case and judged in terms of the Cup as a whole and whichever result would have the least impact on the chances of any given collection to win.

For instance, if a draw happened in a match where one competitor still has a route to win the Cup - but a loss would ensure they could not - but the other competitor has zero route to victory even *if* they were given the match win, I'd give the point to the competitor ahead in the table.

A satisfyingly close match, even if I think we could have had even more participation!

Zoo Berlin - 52/105 points - 49.524%
Tierpark Berlin - 53/105 points - 50.476%
