A "tiebreak" is a method used in competitions to determine a winner when two or more participants have the same score or result. This situation often arises in sports, games, or contests where a clear victor is needed. Tiebreaks can take various forms, such as additional rounds, point systems, or specific challenges designed to break the tie. In many sports, like tennis or basketball, tiebreaks are established rules that dictate how to resolve a tie. For example, in tennis, a tiebreak game is played when the score reaches 6-6 in a set, allowing players to compete for the set win.
