When Was The Last Time a Major Professional Sports Team Forfeited?

In Japan, a baseball game is tied if the scores are level after 12 innings. (I think…now I better go check that.) Ties are recorded in the standings.

You are correct. Japanese games are ruled ties after 12 innings or inclement weather preventing play after 5 innings. The ties are listed in the standings, but not figured into the team’s winning percentage. This is unlike the NFL where the infrequent ties do count in the standings as .5 win and .5 loss.

Major League Baseball ties count for purposes of statistics, although the game will have no winning or losing pitcher. Tie games are made up in their entirety if possible.

In the minor leagues, tie games are usually considered suspended games are picked up again from the point where play was stopped.
