All parameters correctly handle plurals (1 win, 2 wins etc.). w - the number of wins; l - the number of losses; d - the number of draws; otl - the number of overtime losses; t - the number of ties (for use in sports, such as cricket, where draws and ties are different results) nr - the number of no result outcomes
this year’s tournament field. I’ve listed each teams’ win and loss record, their against the spread totals, and their record in the last ten games. Also included are the leading scorers along with symbols for upperclass point guards, high scoring big men, team scoring averages and point differentials.
In this example game, both players know the payoff matrix and attempt to maximize the number of their points. Red could reason as follows: "With action 2, I could lose up to 20 points and can win only 20, and with action 1 I can lose only 10 but can win up to 30, so action 1 looks a lot better." With similar reasoning, Blue would choose action C.

A solved game is a game whose outcome (win, lose or draw) can be correctly predicted from any position, assuming that both players play perfectly.This concept is usually applied to abstract strategy games, and especially to games with full information and no element of chance; solving such a game may use combinatorial game theory or computer assistance.
A possible alternative is a single-elimination format where each match is a best-of-5-or-more series. This format still allows a competitor to lose (perhaps multiple times) while still remaining eligible to win the tournament. Of course, having multiple games in each series also requires considerably more games to be conducted.
