In Response To: Tennis, volleyball (Bob Koca)

This is clearly a semantic argument. Unless there is some advantage in winning 8-0 rather than 5-0 then the additional points are meaningless - unlike in a much longer match or an unlimited game. I believe one is officially credited anyway with 'only' winning 5-0.

The now defunct NBPS, for example, used either points difference or points scored as a first tiebreaker in their Swiss events. So it could be better to win 13-0 rather than 13-12. But you could only be credited with the 13 points, and no more.
