Tennis. The person who's serving is really on the defensive, because you have to break your opponent's serve at least once to win. Therefore, while you are serving you're defending, and your opponent is attacking. So, the ball is always in possession of the defender. Further, it's possible for the player trying to break to score points from double falts.
Probably not the answer you're looking for, but I'm still right <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Chess does actually have scoring and points, so it doesn't work. Although, a single game of Rock, Paper, Scissors would work (can't be a series though). A staring contest would have to be the best answer so far.
