:::Also in golf, they have tiebreakers where if players are tied after the final round, some tournaments have tiebreaker rules where they use total number of strokes on the back nine, back six, back three or even the final hole as the tiebreaker They don't require any additional gameplay but instead rely on scores already recorded during regular rounds, Both Fifa football and golf tournaments have tiebreaker rules that do not have any additional gameplay. Who are you to argue that they have no right to call it as a tiebreaker if they don't do additional gameplay. Clearly not every sport or games use additional gameplay to break a tie and so don't push an unrealistic definition. https://www.wgawp.com/page/show/1186503-wgawp-tie-break-procedure#:~:text=The%20winner%20is%20determined%20based,(holes%2016%2D18).

::@[[User:Starigniter|Starigniter]] Lastly since you are so dependent on dictionaries. Here's OXFORD defintion - tie-breaker, n.'' A means of deciding a winner out of two or more contestants who have tied; also figurative.'' https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=tiebreaker Notice it doesn't say anywhere that tiebreaker methods must only have addtional gameplay but instead describes it broadly as anything that decides the winner among those who have tied. Oxford dictionary backs me up fully. [[User:Evibeforpoli|Evibeforpoli]] ([[User talk:Evibeforpoli|talk]]) 07:08, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

:::0) You made my day. Thank you.

:::1) "A dictionary isn't meant to be a complete source of reference but designed for a quick reference." → Dude, what? Is it another of your "brilliant" definitions?

:::2) "However dictionary doesn't claim that a tie break must always use addtional gameplay as you claim." → You can't read and understand at the same time, don't you? It is written "extra" and that's enough. Just because there is no word "always" it doesn't take away anything. If you look at definition of i.e., Paris ("the capital city of France, situated in the north central part of the country"), it also doesn't contain that word. Does it mean Paris is not always or all the time the capital city of France? You just have think a little bit, and it doesn't hurt, I can assure you, to get it, but you don't want to do any of those. Pity.

:::3) "And your claim is already proven wrong. In Fifa football, their tiebreaks for group stage rankings do not rely on any addtional gameplay but rather on finished games statistics." → Lol. Those halfbrains that never heard of highly complicated procedure called "pausing the time and resuming it back again" and you expect them checking definitions in a dictionary? Seriously? And just because they don't you just follow them blindy like that?

:::4) "As Tiebreak means anything to break a tie. Similarly, IOC also uses pre-existing stats to break a gold medal tie, by comparing silvers only after a gold tie. Hence it is correct to call this comparison on silver medals a "tiebreak." Also there are no sources supporting term "count-back," making it an unsourced reference. All reliable sources commonly refer to it as a "tiebreaker"." → Blah, blah, blah. Not, unfortunately for you are wrong, again. I provided the necessary evidence and you still "think" (sic) and behave it doesn't count. It's like me opening geographical atlas that says "London is located in England" you come with some revelation like "no, London is in South America, bEcAuSe FiFa aNd/Or OtHeR fOoTbAlL fEdErAtIoNs SaY sO". Can't you see how ridiculous you look?

:::5) "Also if this is how you behave and get all defensive and refuse to acknowledge my reasoning." → Your what!? Reasoning!? Bloody nerve. You throw a dictionnary away because FIFA does something wrong, again, as per? Laugh, I nearly died!

:::6) "Then I won't waste further time on you as I already explained myself and may just report you to Administration noticeboard if you continue to edit war and mock others like this." → Well, I hope you can at least keep your word and don't be a liar and "Tesla of the 21st century" at the same time. Yeah, do that. Go ahead and report me, as writing nonsense is only thing you can do. And I'm not mocking anybody. Feel offended that I called you "genius" for multiple of reasons? "Oh, no! Anyway..."

:::7) What a pathetic liar you are... "I won't waste further time on you" and then you proceeded to write two more posts. And you expect me to take you seriously? Not only "genius", but also obvious liar at the same time. Congratulations.

:::Can you go a single day without writing or saying "FIFA"? So what in golf they do wrong? Does that justify them?

:::Can't you understand we need definitions to avoid trolls like you? Well, I can say that in mind "tie-breaker is walking using your left leg and right hand only". And if you show me a definition I can clearly denied it because genius Evibeforpoli is an ultra troll. Satisfied?

:::8) Wow! Oxford dictionnary.... You reject dictionary and then you provide a bad one (because it doesn't even contain a word "countback" and that may explain your poor vocabulary...) to claim your point...

:::"Oxford dictionary backs me up fully" → no, it doesn't, because it lacks basic terminology. And funny, because when proper dictionnary (Cambridge) backed me up, you came up with this silly idead "BuT iN fIFa" and now you are happy because, oh sweet irony, the other dictionnary backs you up....

:::9) "Lastly since you are so dependent on dictionaries." → And you aren't, knowing that you just used one and sent me a link? What a pathetic hypocrite, liar and gEnIuS you are at the same time. All three at once. [[User:Starigniter|Starigniter]] ([[User talk:Starigniter|talk]]) 11:12, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
