Per statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-out are counted as draws.

gollark: Yes, *exactly* 16!
gollark: Comparators produce a 0-15 signal. You can either use that for one bit, or more if you convert that into several digital signals.
gollark: Analog/digital converter.
gollark: One hopper and one comparator can store a bit, or I guess 4 with an ADC.
gollark: I mean, can you settle for having some ROM?
