So while Saturday's games are still going, Sunday's games are going to start in a few hours.

 

Nothing too interesting in Pool B. Korea will hope their disastrous tournament doesn't get worse against the Czech Republic. Japan and Australia face off for the top seed in the Pool.

 

Final day in the Pool of Chaos (Pool A). Sunday is going to be a lot of fun. Here's the scenarios:

 

Scenario 1:

 

Taiwan beats Cuba, Netherlands beats Italy:

 

Taiwan finishes 1st. Netherlands finishes 2nd. Cuba is forced to requalify for the 2026 tournament.

 

Scenario 2:

 

Cuba beats Taiwan, Netherlands beats Italy:

 

Netherlands finishes 1st. Cuba, Panama and Taiwan are tied at 2-2. Cuba would finish 2nd based on the head-to-head tie-breaker. Italy is forced to requalify.

 

Scenario 3:

 

Taiwan beats Cuba, Italy beats Netherlands:

 

Taiwan finishes 1st. Italy, Netherlands, and Panama are tied at 2-2. Since they would all have a head-to-head record of 1-1 against each other, the next tie breaker is used which is runs allowed per innings defended. Cuba is forced to requalify.

 

Scenario 4:

 

Cuba beats Taiwan, Italy beats Netherlands:

 

All 5 teams finish at 2-2. :yikes:Runs allowed per innings defended would be used.

 

 

 

Right now, here's the runs allowed stats.

 

:NED Netherlands: 0.444

:CUB Cuba: 0.538

:PAN Panama: 0.600

:ITA Italy: 0.615

:TWN Taiwan: 0.889

actually, it's runs / defensive outs (so, the 3 extra outs played by :ITA and :CUB help them in the standings)...:evil:

 

updated after :CUB destroying :TPE 

cub 0.139
ned 0.154

ita 0.191
pan 0.194

tpe 0.295

 

:CUB are basically safe (PAN & TPE are done, ITA could only overtake them if they win X-0 in at least 11 innings vs :NED

 

:ITA must win by 4+ runs vs :NED (but allowing not more than 5) in 9 innings to go through to the next round.

 

:TPE chances to avoid "relegation" are only :ITA losing or winning but allowing 17+ runs to the NED.

Honestly, a lot of jersey designs this edition leave quite a bit to be desired. :GBR:CAN:ITA are probably the worst three though.

The chaos scenario happened!

 

The qualification group with Chinese Taipei will be useless, I feel sorry for the other five teams that will have to compete.

If it follows the same structure as the last qualifying tournament, then the other 5 teams will still be able to compete for another spot.

    • What I'm surprised at here is that the sunrise and sunset both change by 27/28 minutes over those two weeks, providing almost an hour more of sunlight from the beginning of the Games to the end. I didn't realize it changed that fast. Growing up in Canada, I always felt like one day in late October we suddenly got 4 hours less sunlight, and one day in early April we suddenly got 4 hours more.

    • He's a businessman and the world simply doesn't remember what the world looks like when USA adopts isolationism. Trump will get involved if only he can make a profit. And his #1 geopolitical enemy is China. Not Russia, North Korea or Iran but China. Modern society especially in Europe simply doesn't understand that becuse nobody is old enough to remember the Monroe Doctrine which predates fascism by a full century. I don't think even in USA they call James Monroe a fascist
    • Fans of FC Heidenheim making a lot of noise outside my front window just now.  
    • Vast majority of Americans will disagree with you. That's all that counts. I dont see many differences in so called fascism between democrats and republicans. Both were bombing any country they picked, both were ruining systems they wanted to.  I prefer reds more because they are at least honest about it. Also, i dont like what this ultraliberalism brought to our whole Earth. Whoever opposes this level of insanity will have my vote.  
    • YEC Semi-Finals are set:   Aryna Sabalenka vs Cori Gauff Barbora Krejcikova vs Zheng Qinwen   Krecikova beating Gauff in two sets means Iga Świątek was eliminated with 2-1 record. Sabalenka clinched Year-End #1 after winning the first two matches and Świątek not winning all three RR matches before already.
    • He is fascist. Even use the same narration like famous german/Austrian painter.

    • I remember a couple of years during the athletics worlds in Oregon one of the British athletes wasn’t able to enter the US due to visa issues. I feel like something similar will happen in LA, and I don’t envisage Trump succumbing to an appeal to let an unfortunate athlete in.
    • thats true. If anyone observes the US election map then he can see that Harris dominated in NorthEast states and the Eastern Coast, exactly where the big economic centres are based (New York, New Jersey, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco etc).   Also what i observe regarding politics in western europe is that Socialdemocratic/centre-left parties have become extremely pro-market and even neo-liberal and some traditional right parties have become euroscepticist and protectionist, exactly the opposite as it was in 70s-80s
