Native speaker please help

No. It don't know what the intended meaning is.

Hi

It's quite an unusual saying and I had to look it up. "It's a wash" means that the thing is hopeless - you are wasting your time if you are trying to decide who the better player is

My guess is that it comes from "It's a washout". Two football teams turn up and hope to play a game, but the field is completely waterlogged - it's washed out - so the thing is hopeless, undecide

Here is what it means

Would you say the sentence is correct?

Hi

I'd say the sentence is good and it means that neither team won, but I disagree with Cambridge as to why that is

They are speaking as if the match actually took place but the result was even:

- When the final whistle blew, the match was still in the balance - it was 1-1

But I don't think that's quite how our phrase works:

- Did your team win?
- N

dave_anon I disagree with Cambridge as to why that is

Cambridge is not alone in its definition:

Informal An activity, action, or enterprise that yields neither marked gain nor marked loss: "[The company] doesn't do badly. That is, it's a wash" (Harper's).

So would you say 'wash' followed by 'as to who' is correct?

Which is correct?
It is a wash as to who the better player is.
It is a wash as to who is the better player.

Hi

I think both of those are good with 'is' or any form of the verb 'to be'

- It's anyone's guess as to who the winner will be
- It's anyone's guess as to who will be the winner
