Deadlocked confrontation (5-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand-off

(Other definitions for stand-off that I've seen before include "Deadlock between equally matched opponents" , "Remain at a distance - while on feet?" , "Impasse" , "Deadlock between equal opponents" , "Rugby halfback" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
