This would seem to boil down to a single
loop, here with various syntactical decoration. 

program zammit 
	version 8 
	args games points garbage 
	if "`garbage'" != "" | "`points'" == "" | "`games'" == "" { 
		di as err "syntax: zammit #games #points" 
		error 198 
	} 	

	confirm integer num `games' 
	confirm integer num `points' 
	
	cap assert `points' <= 3 * `games' 
	if _rc { 
		di as err "too many points" 
		error 498 
	} 	
	cap assert `points' >= 0 & `games' >= 1 
	if _rc {
		di as err "impossible data" 
		error 498 
	} 	

	di 
	forval win = `games'(-1)0 { 
		local tie = `points' -  3 * `win' 
		if `tie' <= `games' & `tie' > 0  {  
			di as txt "wins" as res %5.0f `win' ///
			   as txt "  ties " as res %5.0f `tie' 
		}
		else if `tie' == 0 di as txt "wins" as res %5.0f `win' 
	}
end
