There’s no such thing as a tie.
… in sports, politics, contests or the lotto
There can be two winners.
… in some instances, actually more than two
There is only judgment.
… in the case of making a call
There are no bad calls.
… in making decisions some are just better than others
The ears can’t see better than the eyes.
The eye can’t hear better than the ears.
The mind can’t empathize better than the gut
The gut can’t decode better than the mind
The umpire, the judge and the referee know these truths
They look for the touch
They listen to the pop
They instant replay
They judge the case
Use the senses
Take consensus
In case of a tie
Don’t rely
On just the ears
Or just the eyes
But with concert of all
Don’t stutter
Don’t stall
Its one or the other
No tie involved
Make the call
