[CQ-Contest] "Fair" in sports

Dave said,

".... V47NT out performed EF8M and lost. How is this fair?"

This is NOT to "pick" on Dave, but this is a great launching pad (sorry Dave).

In Tennis, who wins - the one with with the most games or the most sets?  It is certainly NOT
uncommon for "the winner" to have won more games, but still "lose."  

In baseball, does the team with the most overall runs win or does the team with the most
games win?  

And for a real explosive one here in the US, who wins president...the one with the most public
votes or the one with the most electoral college votes?

QED.
