Hrqls: Suppose you play with other 10 players the following game.
Each player plays with each other one game. So we would have 45 matches.
We have in a black bag 2 balls. One white and one black.
The game is simple. One of the 2 players, picks a ball, without being able to see the color, and if he chooses the white one he wins. If not he loses.
The first 2 of the group win 50.000$ each!
And after all the matches except one, that of player-A against player-B, we have the following ranking:
Hrqls = 7 points / 10 games
Player-A = 7 points / 9 games
Player-B = 7 points / 9 games
And the 2 players agree to a draw and win 50.000$ each one. Perfectly fair right......?
Backgammon could be at the position of the aforementioned game......Backgammon has no draw! So the arbiter should not accept draw as a result.....
