+The main reason for including [[Repetition of Position Draws]] in a game is to avoid a certain type of [[Repetitive Gameplay]]. The main choices is how many repetitions are allowed and if only directly repetitions are counted. Unless computer or referee support exists, keeping track of all previous positions or game states can be problematic for players. As direct repetition often suffices, but as a parallel one can consider the issues with ''ko'' and ''superko'' situations in [[Go]].

-This pattern is a still a stub.
+Actions that players make in games are typically done to advance their positions or increase their chances of winning. However, when players meet each other in games their actions can cancel each out in ways that make the positions of game elements &mdash; or more generally, the whole game state &mdash; repeat themselves. [[Repetition of Position Draws]] are rules that make such sequences of actions result in draws instead of letting players potentially continue infinitely with the actions.
