After 60 minutes of play, the score is tied 10-10, and the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts go away co-champions. How do the players divide up the game money? Actually, the players might make out better. Without a winner, there’s no loser’s share, so each player would get the same amount of cash. Since the Dublin play ers aren’t getting playoff checks, what do they get half a ring? Like most bureaucracies, the planners didn’t think this one through.

Baseball and softball games only end in ties dur ing timed tournaments. Championships never end knotted at 2-2. Both teams keep playing until somebody wins. Soccer only has ties that bind and gag whenever I have to attend a game. Tennis doesn’t have ties and golf matches play extra holes. The GHSA guys must have been thinking that the fans paid for 48 minutes of football, and they got what they paid for. No they didn’t. The fans paid to see one team or the other win. Instead what they got was two teams that almost won. 32nd annual Georgia-South Carolina Junior Challenge Match moves to Sage Valley Golf and Hunt Club in Graniteville, July 20-21, 2007.

None of this politically correct New England mumbo jumbo that says both teams won by just playing. Fragile young egos remain intact. Ties are compromises to avoid hurt feelingß that real ly make everybody involved angry. Ties are half truths. When Dublin’s players reach middle age and tell their grandchildren they played on a championship team, the bitter aftertaste in their mouths will the unspoken words, “co-champions.” Winning means beating the other team. In a tie, nobody wins anything. tions. GSGA accepts entries online through its web site, www.gsga.org.
