I don't think that any tie, even the higher is the same as any normal. If it were so, everyone'd be playing tie to have a normal, let's say 9.
it's a different aproach, I believe that when you play relaxed (that's the name in spanish) you have less risk of injury, in some cases comit more fouls or allow more points, but you take care of your players. I don't think that a parallel can't be done, even with the lower enthusiasm you'll have a litle edge in same points when playing normal, but in the long term is the benefit. especially when the playoffs arrive, wich is a huge boost for your team.
Good luck to all from Argentina!!
