Abstract
General ordinal noncooperative games with a finite number of players are considered. Existence of equilibrium points in such games is proved. The definitions of different mixed extensions of these games are discussed, and the corresponding existence theorems are established. A connection between so defined mixed extensions and mixed extensions of noncooperative games with payoff functions is investigated.
