Best way to detect and handle a tie in scores

In the map score is displayed/tracked by minerals and gasses.

So let's assume the countdown timer is at 0:00 (After counting down from 20:00)

Team 1 has a score of 100
Team 2 has a score of 90

Obviously, team 1 is the winner.

Code

Trigger("Team 1"){
Conditions:
Most Resources(ore);
Countdown Timer(Exactly, 0);
Elapsed Time(At least, 200);
Command("Player 12", "Terran Flag Beacon", Exactly, 0);

Actions:
Set Switch("Switch140", set);
Preserve Trigger();
Comment("Force1Winning");
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

Code

Trigger("Team HOT"){
Conditions:
Switch("Switch140", set);
Switch("Switch141", not set);
Countdown Timer(Exactly, 0);

Actions:
Display Text Message(Always Display, "\x013\x005Team 1 wins!");
Victory();
Comment("Victory");
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

And vice verse for a losing team.

Now, that seems to work fine, but I wan't an OT trigger as well, and it seems to break sometimes?

Code

Trigger("All players"){
Conditions:
Countdown Timer(Exactly, 0);
Elapsed Time(At least, 10);
Switch("Switch140", set);
Switch("Switch141", set);

Actions:
Set Countdown Timer(Set To, 120);
Set Switch("Switch41", set);
Comment("SetOver-time");
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

Code

Trigger("All players"){
Conditions:
Switch("Switch41", set);

Actions:
Set Switch("Switch41", clear);
Comment("ClearOver-Time");
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

Those two triggers are right on top of each other. In that order.

None.

Does each team belong to a single force or do the minerals/gas belong to a single player?

Keep in mind that triggers run like this:

- set current player to p1
��- run first trigger (run once if owned by p1, once more (or for the first time) if owned by p1's force, and once more (or for the first/second time) if it's owned by all players)
��- run second trigger (...)
��...
- set current player to p2
��- run first trigger (...)
��- run second trigger (...)
��...
... and on till p8

Okay, I understand how that could work but sadly all players are set to allies for the whole game. For that reason, the Foes trigger cannot work. Is it possible just to replace that with "Force 1" and "Force 2" ?

And as for the tie, I assume I can just set preserve triggers on these, and on the tie one I set Cantina to 0 after I reset the timer for OT?

None.
