Sports that can end in ties? Nope.

@taweret

so you don't like baseball then? (Japanese rules allow for games to end in a tie)

@SeanAloysiusOBrien only in the regular season? also i don't watch japanese games but i would find that extremely unsatisfying

@taweret

I think there are special rules for playoff games yeah

@SeanAloysiusOBrien cricket matches last three to five DAYS and can still end in ties :/

@taweret

I've never talked with anyone who will defend cricket lol

@SeanAloysiusOBrien @taweret I like the idea of Cricket and it can be a fun sport to casually/informally play. I haven’t watched a lot of it though.

From what I know, and I’m probably wrong but the 3-5 day things are more like baseball playoffs than normal games. Normal games typically end when there’s a winner like baseball, but because ties are easier and blowouts rarer the games really can go forever, especially in big tournaments.

@SeanAloysiusOBrien @taweret Though imagine the riots if like the Baseball World Series could end in ties but regular season games never did. “Whelp, there’s no champion team this year, good try teams, maybe next year.”
