2 hrs confidence: 
win-lose conflict Explanation: This matched the definition provided by the asker which indicates COMPLETE loss by one party. The definition of zero sum game (below) does not necessarily mean the complete loss of one party. One could lose 10% and win 90% while the other loses 90% and wins 10% and the result will still be a zero-sum! Read more: http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/zero-sum-game.h... In decision theory, situation where one or more participants' gain (loss) equals the loss (gain) of other participants. Thus, a gain (loss) for one must result in a loss (gain) for one or more others. Also called constant sum game. See also negative sum game and positive sum game.
