It's pretty simple really - a pitcher is credited with a complete game if he is the only pitcher for his team in an official game. There is some argument as to whether a pitcher would be credited with a complete game if say, the starting pitcher didn't get any outs, then a reliever came in and finished the game. He got all the outs in the game - so did he get a complete game? Semantics, semantics...

What is considered a complete game in baseball?
A complete game is different from an official game. A pitcher can throw a complete game if he or she pitches every inning until the final out is made. In the major leagues it is usually 9 innings. An official game also has a definition. After the 5th inning, in the major leagues, it is an official game. If the home team is winning by the middle of the 5th inning and the game is called due to weather or some other reason there is no need to play the bottom of the 5th for the game to be considered an official game. Whomever is in the lead at the end of the 5th inning or later is considered the winner.
