* TheBadGuyWins: In this case, that is up for debate. The Vulcans, being logical and efficient, only field a team of nine players against Sisko's team of eleven. When Solok is thrown out of the game, his team would be unable to qualify to continue the game, and therefore should have had to forfeit.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Solok as a BunnyEarsLawyer. Bravery sufficient to earn the Christopher Pike Medal twice aside, someone so flagrantly racist would hopefully never have made captain in peacetime, let alone be indulged to the point of getting an all-Vulcan crew.

Not the trope. Discovery takes place before Classic, but Classic was aired first and that's what FOS is talking about.
