Like the rules of cricket; you might win, in which case you haven’t lost, assuming you’ve come third out of 5 entrants, in which case you’re a loser, yet a loser who has won. Paradoxically, the winner, or he/she who has not lost, can lose, but not if they place first. Second, third or fourth, or losing, can still ensure a win. But not if the winner wins, because he wins due to not losing.
