-It is considered [[good quizbowl]] to avoid paper tiebreakers like head-to-head, [[PPG]], or [[bonus conversion]] when possible, though they are used when time or the number of questions is limited. The current [[ACF]] rules provide for the use of PPG and then bonus conversion if there are not enough packets to play off the tie.
-The term "circle of death" is also used by the [[NAC]] to designate the double-elimination playoff at the end of the tournament.
