However, if the tie would only occur because of the situation that the second player caught up with the first player, then without the ties the games would have been decided by who went first (so by the coin toss pre-match).Sure. And I think it's very unlikely, don't get me wrong. As someone running touraments for various games over the years, I can say that the oil flip of pregame is still preferable on many levels, because the players won't notice it the same way. Where ties tend to be as much of a feel bad as a loss when it comes to torment rankings, except now it's two players that feel bad instead of one.
So, your nightmare tournament in which everyone ties would otherwise be a tournament where all matches were only determined by coin tosses who started first.
