Hukos Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 A single tie is functionally similar to a loss though. 10-5-1 is strictly worse than 11-5, which why it's functionally a defeat. Yes, 10-5-1 is better than 10-6, but 10-6 is also worse than 11-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about everyone ties and then everyone gets a participation trophy at the end of the year?

This is a bad faith response, but I'll bite anyway. The end result of a tie is that you do not accumulate a win. The "half-win" that a tie gives you is not enough to make up for the lost ground that you could have had if you had won instead of tying. In my example, a 10-5-1 team is a half game behind an 11-5 team, and a half game ahead of any 10-6 team. In literal terms, the half game seems to have value, but being a half game behind the 11-5 team is significantly more damaging to a team's playoff seeding/standing. This could be the difference between a 1st round bye or playing on wild card weekend (or in some cases, not making the playoffs at all if things are really tight!). So in literal terms, a tie is worth half a win. In practical terms, the half-win is in of itself, worth nothing or at the very least, worth very little.

So what you spent this rambling paragraph saying is that, "a tie is better than a win, and worse than a loss?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hukos Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I'm talking practical terms, not literal ones. Also if that paragraph is rambling to you, I hate to think how you managed English class. Edited February 22, 2020 by Hukos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
