In regards to the tiebreaker round — most of the time, it went something like this: Team A plays its 7 words. Team B is given however much time it took Team A to get to the 7th word. If Team B gets all 7 in that time or faster, Team B goes to the Winner's Circle; otherwise, Team A does.
Now, I've seen some episodes where Team B didn't get all 7 words in time, and even one or two where Team B got cuckooed (if I'm not mistaken, there was even one where Team B got the cuckoo on the first word). But was there ever an instance where Team A didn't get all 7 words? If so, how was the tiebreaker handled?

According to Wikipedia (which as we all know is never wrong), the second team tries to beat the posted score. If they tie with a sub-7 score, another tiebreaker is played.

If I'm reading your question correctly, I remember an 80s episode where Team A got 6 out of 7, and Team B got the full 30 seconds. However, Team B also got 6/7, so they had a second tiebreaker. After it was all said and done, Dick had to rush the winning team to the Winner's Circle.

Proof (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-i8osVN3Zs\"). As per the flow of the game, team "B" gets first control of the second tiebreaker.

This is actually the one (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFH9J7FlB_I\") I remember watching many years ago. Three count-em three tie-breakers!
/On Pyramid 2K10, the first two would clearly be edited out
