Provide a way to manage absolute ties
Right now if multiple players have the same score recorded on a game the tie is determined by the order the score was entered. In group formats the TD can modify points manually to account for this, but there are some formats where this is not possible.
TDs should be allowed to select if ties result in an actual tie and how lower-down results are treated (one below, skip positions, etc.)
For example - in a limited-entry or card format, two players are disqualified on the same game for a tilt through, playing out of turn, etc. They both receive scores of 0 (or 1, depending on the tournament). Right now they receive different numbers of points and there is no way to correct for it.
An absolute tie has also happened multiple times in our events, most often on NBA Fast Break but also multiple times on EM games and a few times on 6-digit solid-state games..

Related to this, there should also be a way to explicitly enter a forfeit/DQ.

We've run into this as well, running a league night with INDISC scoring and NBA Fast Break. Would like an option to have tied players split points equally.
(Note that in the original poster's case of two players receiving a 0, I played a match at Pinburgh where two players in our group tilted through. Instead of both receiving a zero, we had to play a tie breaker to determine who got the zero and who got a one. So multiple possibilities for that case.)
