whytelight Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I don't follow other sports very much. But I'm interested in what is considered a rout. In hockey I'd think that anything greater than a 4 goal difference is a rout: 4-1, 7-3, 5-2, etc.... But what is considered a rout in the NBA, MLB, CFL, NFL, Golf, soccer, etc...??? Thoughts?

Where's Wellwood Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 In Tennis, I'd say it's if every lost set was 6-1 or worse. 6-0, 6-0 is the worst loss you can have in a best of 3 sets. 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 in a best of 5. The ultimate tennis rout would be a golden match. A loss in which the loser lost every point played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocksterh8 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 A rout is the collection of road / streets / Hwy's between points A and B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "anything greater than a four goal difference", and proceed to list three scores that aren't greater than four goals.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 A certain amount of a rout is the score, but I also think that equal weight has to go to the team that completely and utterly dominates the other team. In hockey, if you could win 4-1, but outshoot the other guys 50-17, and win each of the three fights in the game, I'd say that is a rout. As for other sports, the same general theory applies: partially the score, partially the statistical domination and partially the domination of the other team. A rout may be hard to define, but everybody knows one when he or she sees one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
