I’ve been playing in 2 leagues for a while, and I’ve seen at least few ties to the decimal point.
ETA: I was wrong. Looking back through the standings, some of the ties were before we switched to fractional scoring in one league several years ago. I’ve only seen one with fractional scoring.
I was in a league many years ago where someone needed to win or tie to go to the playoffs. It was exactly tied until the last play when his QB did a kneel down, losing him 0.1 and a playoff spot.
I had a win changed to a L one year due to stat corrections the day after.
That was always my irrational fear after i passed an actuarial exam

In my league, that is in its 19th season of fractional scoring…
We had one tie in the first or second season. In the first round of the playoffs. By the two highest scoring teams that week. The rules stated that the higher seeded team wins. The lower seeded team went on to post the high score the next two weeks. The higher seeded team in the tie went on to win the championship.
Since then we have had one other regular season tie. I think it was last season. So in 17 full years we had 1 tie, and now have 2 after 18 full years. 12 team league.
5 ties in 11 years. However, NOT fractional scoring except for 0.5 PPR.
Regarding ties, the type of fractional scoring matters. Marginally more likely to have ties in a 0.05 vs. 0.04 per passing yard league.
