American Football

Um...where on earth did we get the idea that American football is the only major sport in North America that allows ties? News flash people: the USA is not the only country in North America. Association football is huge in both Canada and Mexico, and allows ties, without all the convoluted requirements needed in American football. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.254.167 (talk) 00:46, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Where to go now

I think this article should discuss tie-breaking methods in general, both for sports and elections. I got inspired to do this while discussing the issue of ties in voting system.

Actually, on second thought, a seperate article on tie-breaking methods might be good to have too, especially if this one gets too long. I'll just be bold and start editing and see if someone else chimes in. Scott Ritchie 18:40, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Old deletion discussion

No consensus to delete. Removed VfD notice and entered at Misplaced Pages:Pages needing attention. Deletion debate below. Cecropia 02:48, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  • More like a wikitionary or something page to me. Antonio Martin
  • I don't know. It may be possible to squeeze an article out of it. Maximus Rex 08:01, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Rework. Not familiar with game theory, but isn't there something related to game theory that says that a fair game is one where a tie/draw situation can be achieved? Dysprosia 08:09, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • You are probably thinking of a zero sum game. Pete/Pcb21(talk) 08:28, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
      • No, whether it is zero sum is totally unrelated to whether a tie is possible. But needs a real article or nothing. Revise or delete. -- Jmabel 09:05, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep only if it's possible to expand it. Exploding Boy 10:32, Apr 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Valid subject, but sub-standard article. Revise or delete. Cribcage 15:07, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've tried to expand it, with a bit of data on sports in which ties are possible, and a note about stalemate. Smerdis of Tlön 11:43, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. Also added a line about cricket. --Zigger 08:12, 2004 Apr 26 (UTC)
  • Keep - Tεxτurε 15:23, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • I'm going to give the revision a shot, adding knowledge from other sports. CharlieZeb 18:10, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
