Definition:Payoff Table

Definition
Let $G$ be a two-person zero-sum game.

A payoff table for $G$ is an array which specifies the payoff to one of the players (usually $A$) for each strategy of $A$ and $B$.

As $G$ is zero-sum, there is no need to specify the payoff to $B$, as it will be the negative of the payoff to $BA$.

$G$ is completely defined by its payoff table.

A payoff table is also known as a payoff matrix.
