[edit] 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)

  • 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)
