Even on the scoreboard (4)
I believe the answer is:
tied
'even on the scoreboard' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for tied that I've seen before include "Drawn" , "(Of pub) owned and run by a brewery" , "With an equal score" , "Roped into diet" , "Bound or secured" .)
