 Yeah "Tied" is really an Americanism.

For everyone else it's Draw. As in, Win, Lose or Draw.

I agree for all the others though

 Interesting on the "Draw" issue, I didn't know that. Thanks. 07/11/2011 10:22

 Actually, draw is an easy synonym even in the US. So much so that leagues where they can happen still normally use D for that column. 07/11/2011 16:45

 I checked out how ESPN describes it just now, and here's what I found:

US Soccer: D
US Football: T

I couldn't find any other sports that allowed for Ties/Draws.

Even US Soccer uses "Draw" so, I stand corrected...
