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)

Nobody said it is. The sentence says "such as" and implies that there are more. However, American Football has the largest fanbase of any sports in North America, and therefore is a good representative. Ekcrbe (talk) 17:59, 4 April 2011 (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)

Last Sentence

Does the bit about Austin and Taryn actually mean anything? dolph 23:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Cricket

As an American, I am a bit confused. I understand that there are different ways that a tie vs a draw are acheived, but do these two different results have different consequences as far as standings and the like are concerned?Wschart (talk) 16:45, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

When? (Basketball)

It says in rare circumstances in basketball time or other circumstances prevent a game to be completed. Has this ever happened? (Obvious things I can thing of would be terrorism, or possibly major injury - a player dies suddenly perhaps?) Jimw338 (talk) 03:32, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

There's supposedly this Kentucky basketball game that ended in a draw. –HTD 16:43, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Baseball -- Japan Series

I've asked for a reference to document the statement made that the Japan Series must end by Game 8. I believe the correct format of the Series is that a team must win 4 games outright to win. Games 1-7 are played with an innings limit (currently 12) and can end in ties; Games 8 and beyond are played with no innings limit and no ties are possible. So the Series can theoretically go beyond Game 8 if more than one of the first 7 games end in a tie, although in practice this has never happened as yet and only once was even Game 8 necessary. I don't yet have a reference to back up my claim, but the 1975 Japan Series is the reason why I think it cannot work the way it is currently described. In 1975, Hankyu Braves won 4-0-2, with 2 games ending in ties. But Game 6 was still deemed necessary; so a 3-0-2 record wasn't sufficient to win. Had Hiroshima Toyo Carp won Games 6, 7, and 8, the Series would have been tied 3-3-2 and a deciding Game 9 would have been necessary. The format as currently described was, I believe, an exceptional format used only for the 2011 Japan Series. In 2011, due to restrictions following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, the Series was capped at a theoretical maximum of 8 games. This was the only year such a format was used, although in practice it doesn't make much difference because the Series has never gone beyond 8 games. Dash77 (talk) 17:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
