Default sports where you can 100% outplay your opponent and lose?

The only two that come to mind for me are bowling and tennis. It has always bothered me that tennis players can win more points and still lose a match. Same with bowlers can bowl more strikes and knock more pins down and still lose.

Any other ones?

PS I do not and will never consider poker a sport...

someone with 6 strikes and 5 9pin spares can easily lose to someone with 4 strikes and 7 9pin spares given the scoring:

x / x / x / x / x /x = 200
/ / / x x x x / / /9 = 224

simple example
9 x 9 9 x 9 9 x 9 9 = 120
9 9 9 x x 9 9 9 9 9 = 120

if bowling if u bowl

Strike 1 1 5x in a row you are going to lose to someone who bowls 5 strikes and then gutter balls the rest of the game.

You 5 strikes +10 pins 70 points.
him 5 strikes +0 pins. 120 points.

I think this is right:

X X X X X X X X 9- XX9 = 266 (10 strikes, 118 pins)
X X X X X X X X 8/ X9/ = 268 (9 strikes, 110 pins)
