Describe your suggested feature

Sometimes there isn't a clear winner between two options, and a tie is better than randomly picking one or the other or skipping it.

The library we use does have a draw option, but I'm not really sure how that would functionally be different from skip.

Using "skip" you can end up in an infinite loop. Moreover a draw can modify the ratings: in a draw between a very good player and a very bad one, the good player should loose some rating points and the bad one should gain some.

Gotcha. In that case, I'll remove skip and change it to tie / Not sure, and change the logic to make that a glicko draw.

Which language do you think would be best: Tie, Draw, or Not Sure

I'm not sure, maybe "Tie".
