Volleyball does not have a time limit either. I have seen some pretty long matches between good teams. I also do not think any time limits are imposed in gymnastics, tho’ I could be wrong – it is not my favorite sport in the world. Billdo, if Exprix could get laid twice, the hell with the SDMB. ---

The longest game I ever saw was an NHL playoff game – I watched from 5:30 pm MDT until 3:30am MDT – In the playoffs, if the two teams are tied at the end of regulation play, over time peroids of 20 min each are played until a team scores. This led the particular game I watched going into 6 overtime peroids I believe. Actual playing time was approx 180 minutes… * * * …for more silky smooth segues, write to “silky smooth segues” 610 n 10th street, Albuquerque NM 87109. ---

perhaps I wasn’t clear enough in my original comment - I’m not talking about time, so much as “the end.” some games go on for a long time when there’s a tie, but that’s exceptional. Games like snooker and darts and curling have a fixed number of balls, darts, stones to throw. I meant that in baseball and cricket, someone can be winning by a large margin, and just keep on playing and playing and playing, and the other side nevber gets a chance to take over. * * * Thanks for doing your bit to advance the cause of human knowledge.     – Cecil Adams ---

Sometimes myself and a few friends will bicycle over to York pretend we are locals and give duff information to the tourists- maybe some of you guys have wondered why you got lost over in the UK. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/well-it-looks-like-ive-been-censored/16103.md?page=2)
