Drawn not tied

In association football, both rugbys, and Australian football, when a game ends with an equal score for both teams, it’s called a draw.

The teams can be tied during the game, and if the scores are still equal when it’s over, then it becomes a draw.

In cricket and American football, a game that ends with an equal score for both teams is called a tie.

Confusingly, in test cricket a draw is when the game ends because they’re out of time, and the teams are on different scores.

Just to confuse things more, a tie in some sports is a future fixture, and the draw is the schedule of future ties.
