By "tie-break" (or "tiebreaker") is not meant here "the method of breaking a tie at the end of a competition," but the specific play that does so. 3, record 1, English, - tie%2Dbreak

The "last game" is the last chance to score or gain points in a match but not necessarily the decisive moment in a game. In most sports, a subsequent period, game, inning or end, or a stated number of minutes of play, can be added to break a tie. 3, record 1, English, - tie%2Dbreak

Le premier sens de «tie-break» est «bris d'égalité», la méthode ou le système en vue de départager des ex æquo. Ici, on lui accole le sens de «jeu, échange de départage d'égalité», en limitant la définition à la situation qui existe au volleyball (16 points). Ailleurs, la Délégation générale à la langue française donne à «tie-break» le sens de «manche décisive», terme restreint aux sports joués en manches. Il y a lieu de distinguer entre ces notions et entre le sens des termes donnés comme synonymes qui n'en sont pas tout à fait, et qui ne sont pas les habituels équivalents de «tie-break» ou «tiebreaker», du moins en Amérique du Nord. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9change%20d%C3%A9cisif

Tiebreakers are used to avoid marathon sets. The first player to win six games wins the set, unless the opponent has won five games. In that case, the player with six games may take the set by winning the next game. If that player loses it, (a) play can continue until either player wins two straight games, or (b) a tiebreaker may be played in which the winner is the first player to score seven points with at least a two-point lead. If the score reaches 6-6 in the tiebreaker, play continues until one player leads by two points. 6, record 2, English, - tiebreaker

Le bris d'égalité. Le joueur à qui revient le service effectue celui-ci du côté droit de la ligne de fond. Puis, lorsqu'un point est marqué, son adversaire effectue les 2 services suivants, et les 2 joueurs alternent ensuite le service à tous les 2 points jusqu'à la fin du bris d'égalité, changeant de côté du court à tous les 6 points. Le premier joueur à remporter 7 points gagne le bris d'égalité et la manche, à condition de mener par au moins 2 points (7-5). Si le score atteint 6-6, le jeu continue jusqu'à ce qu'un des joueurs prenne une avance de 2 points. 6, record 2, French, - jeu%20d%C3%A9cisif
