I would be interested to the hear case in favour of tie games.

If one sees sport as a metaphor of life itself, then an undefined outcome is perfectly acceptable.

Undefined outcomes represent the antithesis of effective life management. Goals are either achieved or they are not yet achieved. One doesn’t walk away from an unresolved contest merely because an arbitrary time limit expired.

Clock-ruled games which permit ties are not positive metaphors for life.
