In response to "no sport should ever end in a tie. It defeats the concept of competing. nm -- nm" by groiny

not really, it just allows for a wider view of what constitutes a "competition"

the competition is not just against the team you happen to be playing at the moment (with exception of elimination tournaments, etc.) but against the entire group or league.

you play til someone wins. End of discussion. - groiny Jul 1, 14:03 20
- you do know that you have maximun of 3 substituions right? -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:09 6
  - they should score faster then. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:09 5
    - ohh they could also tie at 16-16 at end of time so that a stupid argument -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:10 4
      - well, then they should play better defense then. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:11 3
        
        both team in a 16-16 have really bad defence equally bad you might say -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:13 2
        
        aah, your defense only has to be one goal better than the other guys. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:14 1
        
        the cutting point is when the ref ends the game -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:16
- the only winner is the one who gets to raise the trophy at the end of the campaign -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:08 12
  - that makes no fucking sense at all. -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:09 11
    - no less sense than claiming if you don't win the World Series or Super Bowl, the season was a failure. -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:12 9
      - well, in theory, it is true. You play, to win, the championship. - groiny Jul 1, 14:13 8
        
        right, so if only the championship matters, having a win/loss outcome in each game is not necessary. - znufrii Jul 1, 14:19 7
        
        in order to win, the teams with best records get in, right? - groiny Jul 1, 14:22 6
        
        in soccer it's 3 points for a win, 1 for a tie -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:26 3
        
        and yes, highest score at the end of the season gets the trophy -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:27 2
        
        which is poopies. You want the team that wins the most games to get in, not the one who plays to tie. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:28 1
        
        You play 38 matches in the EPL....you need roughly 30-35 points to guarantee you get to stay in the EPL. The champs are usually around 80 iirc - Hunta Jul 1, 14:32
        
        used to be 1/2 not it's 1/3 -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:24 1
        
        -not + now -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:24
    - offside is when the ref says so -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:11
