I have seen cases where the score gets above +5 or below -5 and is still drawn. So I use 700 as a threshold for declaring a win/loss.

But maybe in such cases the engine with +5 did play a much better game than the other engine, so that for the purpose of getting accurate statistical results, awarding it a full point through adjudication might be better than counting the game as a draw. (And then there's the time gained, which means more games to be played and better statistics to be gathered.)

Of course it depends on what you're testing.
