Line 219:

#* If there is a tie, it is broken by adding a random number (0-19) to each, and rescoring the points.

#* If there is STILL a tie, it chooses the smallest pool it can.

This tab of the sheet serves to implement these two features in a customizable way.

=== Upper Panel ===

About half of the upper panel is actually new this time. The "White Space" and "Number/# of Pools In Use" are unchanged, except they apply to this sheet.[[File:Pool Selection Generator Upper Panel.png|alt=Location of Pool Selection Generator Upper Panel|center|thumb|600x600px|Location of Pool Selection Generator Upper Panel]]The checkbox for "Do Pool Tinkering" enables/disables the Pool Tinkering portion of this sheet, while the "Maximum Tiebreaker Points" input determines the random value added to tied pools to decide a victor. Larger numbers result in less chance of a secondary tie, but could result in overflow for certain pools.

=== Pool Tinkering ===

As stated above, the vanilla quiz favors pools with Sky-Exclusive Starters for the specified gender if they've played Time/Darkness. Through checking the BIT_FUWARANTE_LOCAL flags from the "Question Loop Generator", we can mimic this effect.

On the far left, are the IDs of the two flags that should be checked (without modification, this could be 0 for "Time/Darkness", and 3/4 for "Male/Female"). Depending on if the 1st and 2nd flags are true (1), or false (0), the selected pools (as many as needed) will gain the specified number of points. In order to accommodate for the "Surprise Me!" gender option, 2 points are given for male, 2 for "not male", 2 for "female", and 2 for "not female", in order to influence every pool containing a sky-exclusive starter. (A similar process is done for the Time/Darkness exclusive starters I've added to my example quiz, if the player has NOT played time/darkness). Up to 10 slots are present for pool tinkering, though more could be added if there is a pressing need.
