Even if chance is an important factor, the rules in certain sports provide for classified athletes or teams to be prelisted on the board so that the best athletes or teams do not meet in the preliminary or first rounds. In curling, ice hockey, water polo, tennis, etc., the draw establishes the draw board on which appear the names of all the registered athletes or teams, each winner meeting with the winner of the meet between the next two athletes or teams, and so on until the final round. 6, record 1, English, - drawing%20of%20lots

Même si le facteur chance a son importance, le règlement de certains sports prévoit que les noms d'athlètes ou d'équipes déjà classé(e)s soient préalablement inscrits au tableau de compétition de sorte que les meilleurs n'aient pas à se rencontrer dans les premières rondes. Au curling, en hockey sur glace, au water-polo, en tennis, etc., le tirage au sort permet d'établir le tableau où figurent les noms de tous les participants, athlètes ou équipes, chaque gagnant affrontant le gagnant de la rencontre entre les deux suivants, et ainsi de suite jusqu'à la ronde finale. Dans certains sports (comme en ski alpin), la deuxième manche se dispute dans l'ordre inverse du classement en première ronde. 2, record 1, French, - tirage%20au%20sort
