Examples
The scenarios in Memoir '44 are in several cases not balanced to be aligned to the historical events they depict. The game rules suggest that players play each scenario twice, switching sides between each game instance, to make it possible for players to compare how well they played.
In Chess tournaments it is common that players meeting each other play several game instances and that one alternates who starts. This removes the advantage of being the starting player and thereby give a more balanced result. This can be applied to Go tournaments as well even if the komi compensation is intended to remove first player advantages.
