In a small tournament of three players (Anna, Bob, and Carl), every player plays every other player exactly once. A win gives 3 points, a draw gives 1 point, and a loss gives 0 points. At the end, Anna has 6 points, Bob has 1 point, and Carl has 1 point. Did Bob and Carl draw their match?
Yes
Anna earned 6 points, meaning she won both of her matches (against Bob and Carl). This leaves the single match between Bob and Carl. Since Bob and Carl each finished with 1 total point, their head-to-head match must have ended in a draw (1 point each).
