How is this a draw?? I’m not understanding. Is this a bug?
Anyone who has more knowledge lmk. Go to the very end to see how the teams scored.

I thought I understood exactly how the system works.
Very interesting! The replay viewer doesn’t actually tell us the outcome but you say it was a draw…
I mean I can see the ending score of 5 to 5… I watched the first and 2nd around to see you guys both full capped for 3 to 3.
In the blue teams OT round they made it past point B for a score of 5 AND they made progress passed that checkpoint door getting closer to point C.
In red teams though they did make it to point 5 but DID NOT make it passed the checkpoint door so clearly made less progress… That should result in them losing, and the team which made it farther wins.
It’s actually possible to draw on escort maps if the distance is actually exactly equal - for instance if one team makes it 13.5 meters, and 2nd team also makes it exactly 13.5 meters (when the clock hits 0 and no overtime happens) then its possible to draw. This is made easier to happen directly at points such as point A or B because the cart pauses here for some time.
This didn’t appear to happen here tho? To me it looks like your team had a score of 5 + 28.3m, which is > than the enemy teams score of 5 and +5.00m.
There are some interesting properties about payload maps you can learn about if you go to youtube and look up the creator “marblr”. From his channel if you look up “payload” in the search bar on his videos you can find some wild super rare happenings on payload maps. I’ve never seen what you’re talking about specifically but I know there are some janky things that COULD happen on these maps like skipping check points / capturing a checkpoint even while it’s contested, and map terrain failing to trigger or triggering when they aren’t supposed to with careful timing.
Get marblr on the case - put up a screenshot proving it was a draw as well. I’m no expert what so ever
initially I thought maybe you guys achieved a draw because maybe you guys both made it passed that door after point B… kinda like a checkpoint 2.5 where the cart will stop here when the door closes but that did not happen.

I’ll watch when I get back.
To echo the above, can you screenshot the game so we can see the “draw result” whilst simultaneously displaying the replay code.
