I'll query the database to show you the actual raw data that identifies draws in MTGO matches.

Perfect! Here's the specific source data showing how MTGO draws are recorded:

Raw Match Data for MTGO Draws

From the Modern Challenge 32 on October 13, 2025, here are actual match records:

Example Entries:

  • Esper Blink player: 5-2-1 record → matches.result = 'DRAW'
  • Simic Ritual player: 4-2-2 record → Two rows with result = 'DRAW'
  • Prowess player: 0-2-1 record → result = 'DRAW'

Key Database Fields:

  • tournament_entries.draws = total draws for that player's tournament run
  • matches.result = individual match result ('WIN', 'LOSS', or 'DRAW')
  • matches.mirror = 0 (false, indicating it wasn't a mirror match)

How it works:

  1. MTGO publishes complete round-by-round results with W-L-D records
  2. Each match in the database has a result field explicitly set to 'DRAW'
  3. The entry's total draws count matches the number of DRAW result rows for that player
  4. These draws are excluded from winrate calculations (which use wins/(wins+losses))

The data shows MTGO definitively reports draws as a distinct match outcome, not inferred from time or other factors.
