This time you're not correct, bluezebra.

"Go the distance" means pitch a complete game.

A tie game not played out (rained out, for example) is indeed a complete game. All records count, and another game is played. Suspended games (light failure, curfew) are not complete games until they are continued and finished.

Whether a pitcher gets credit for a perfect game that ends in a tie is another question.

Harvey Haddix lost his perfect game because Don Hoak's error allowed a runner to reach first, not simply because an error was committed. The MLB criteria you cite are not definitive. They meant (but neglected to say) "no errors that allow a runner to reach base."
