I don't see how "a tie is not a valid outcome" except by preference and/or by rule. (I know, I know... 'I don't see how "a tie is a valid outcome" except by preference and/or by rule.' Very well, then.)

I believe that "a valid outcome" is whatever a sports league says it is ('signed, Dick Bavetta'). And if a game can result in a tie... well, the league doesn't care, not if you're still watching it.
