draw
A tie (also a tie , a draw or a draw ) is a tie in a competition or ball game between two opponents.
The term is mainly used for the final conclusion of the regular competition unit in sport ( game , game, match ). If the rules of the game and the way it is played (as in a tournament ) permit, a game can end in a draw; in other cases, such as in the knockout system , a game is decided by additional measures such as extended playing time or penalties .
Sports reporters often use the term for the intermediate result.
American football
In American football , a draw outside of the play-offs is sometimes possible. According to the rules of the NFL, a game ended in a draw between 1920 and 1973 if both teams scored the same number of points after the end of the fourth quarter. In 1974 extra time was introduced, after which a game ends in a draw if neither team is able to score points after two extra times. Since 2012, a game has also ended in a draw if both teams only score a field goal in their first drives . For the 1972 season, the NFL changed the rating of a tie. If a draw was previously treated as an unplayed game, it was now considered a half win and half loss. While the Kansas City Chiefs in 1971 with a 10-3-1 record had a win rate of .769 (10/13), the Oakland Raiders with the same record this season had a win rate of .750 (10.5 / 14).
Under NCAA rules, a draw has not been possible since 1996. For divisions I-AA (now I FCS), II and III the tie was abolished in 1981.
basketball
A draw is rare in basketball because of the speed of play and the high number of points. The rules of the game stipulate that the game is repeatedly extended until a winner is determined. There are, however, exceptions.
Boxing
In boxing , a draw is made by awarding points if the fight has not previously been judged by a knockout , TKO or a point decision for a winner and loser.
Cricket
In cricket , a distinction is made between a tie and a draw. Only on points of teams and simultaneous conclusion of the game is called a draw (Engl. Tie ). So this corresponds to the tie as we know it from football. But if the playing time has expired without any of the teams could meet the victory condition, this is called draw (Engl. Draw ). This then corresponds to a draw in chess, where victory can often not be forced despite advantages for one side.
Soccer
In football , a tie is a regular end result. Exceptions apply to tournaments according to the knockout system. In this case, the game will be shortened to two halves extended . In some cases, the away goals rule is also applied. If there is still no decision after that, it will be finally taken on penalties . Before the introduction of extra time and penalty shootouts, there were playoffs or the drawing of lots by the referee. With the introduction of the so-called 3-point rule before the 1995/96 season, the world association FIFA tried to increase the attractiveness of football through a more offensive style of play. The draw was weighted relatively less than a win (previously there was one point for a draw, two points for a win), which was intended to induce the teams not to be satisfied with sharing points and to play more for victory. However, this reform did not bear fruit, as the average number of goals scored fell in the following years.
chess
In chess , the terms tie and draw have equal rights. A stalemate , in which no further game development is possible, ends the game for good. The two players can agree on a draw if they foresee an equal level of play with no prospect of winning. Since it is not necessarily assumed that there will be a tie, a draw can differ fundamentally from a draw.
