Tie (draw)

A tie, also known as a draw, happens when two teams or players end a game with the same score or result. It's like when two people finish a race at the exact same time. In a tie, no one wins and no one loses. It's like saying "we're both equal."

For example, let's say there's a soccer match between Team A and Team B. After playing for 90 minutes, the score is still tied at 1-1. This means neither team won the match. They both scored one goal each and it's a tie.

In some sports, ties are allowed, while in others, there needs to be a winner. For example, in chess, a tie is a common result. But in tennis or basketball, there usually needs to be a winner, and extra time or a tiebreaker is used to determine the winner.

Ties can sometimes be frustrating, especially if you were hoping for a clear winner. But they can also be exciting because both teams had a good game and played well.
