\begin{definition}[Definition:Payoff Table/Zero-Sum]
Let $G$ be a two-person zero-sum game.
A '''payoff table''' for $G$ is an array which specifies the payoff to (conventionally) the maximising player for each strategy of both players.
As $G$ is zero-sum, there is no need to specify the payoff to the minimising player, as it will be the negative of the payoff to the maximising player.
{{PayoffTable|table = $\begin{array} {r {{|}} c {{|}} }
& \text{L} & \text{R} \\
\hline \text{T} & w & x \\
\hline \text{B} & y & z \\
\hline \end{array}$}}
$G$ is completely defined by its '''payoff table'''.
