Use For Determining Komi in Go
In Go, one player can choose the amount of Komi and the other player decides whether to accept that or switch colors with the other player. In the long run, this leads players to choose fair Komi amounts because if they choose a Komi that is too advantageous, the other player can just choose to play white and take advantage of that high Komi.

Famous quotes containing the word determining:
“Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
