I thought I would pop in and say a word about the Irish Red competition underway right now. The top two labels are currently tied. While ties are allowed, they will not happen as often as you think. In the case of an apparent tie then a separate algorithm kicks in to try and break the tie. For the two labels that are currently showing a tie score, gbeam's "Fancy Red", and gray75th's "Green Dragon", whichever label had the highest quality score at the time it was entered in the contest will be the winner. If they both had the same quality score to start then and only then would the competition be considered an actual tie and two ribbons would be awarded.
