    Sports where they play each other once

    Following that great thread on sports where scores go up and down, I've been curious about sports where rematches between participants either don't happen or are very much the exception. These are perhaps increasingly unusual in an era where the lure of the rematch is too lucrative to resist.

    It's something which gives boxing a bit of romance, and more notably practical terms, is one reason boxers are so nasty about each other beforehand, and then full of praise for each other afterwards. If you've beaten someone decisively, often, you've proven your superiority, and you'll likely never meet again, unless it's via a circuitous route.

    Chess, is, perhaps, another one, where once you've beaten someone, unless it's close, it's unlikely a rematch would result in a different result.
