“All Square” is a term for a tie specifically found in which sport?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Solution: The correct answer is Golf/Match Play.
Explanation:
☛ In golf, particularly in match play format, the term “All Square” (AS) is used when the opposing players or teams have won an equal number of holes, meaning the match is currently tied.
☛ Unlike stroke play, which counts the total strokes taken over the entire round, match play scores each hole individually as a separate contest.
☛ If both competitors remain tied at the conclusion of all scheduled holes, the match is declared all square or goes to extra holes to decide a winner.
