Is there anyone on here who’s willing to crunch the numbers and is good with math?

I'm usually good with scenarios like this, but it's normally for the NFL where someone else does the work for me!  That said, I'll try and give this a go since we have an interesting quirk with the schedule where  and  each have 2 games left, both play  and .  While  and  each only have 1 game left against each other.

Alright, super Excel nerd here.  I hope this is accurate.

 

Left group of columns is results, 5 games still matter in the standings.  Middle group is finish position.  Green is advanced to the semis (dark green is a tiebreaker win).  Columns at the right are total wins in each scenario.

 

If there's a 3-way tiebreaker between ITA, NOR, and USA, I think that goes to a draw shot challenge because they'd all be 1-1 against each other.  In the 3-way tiebreaker between ITA, NOR, and GBR, then ITA places 1st, NOR is 2nd, and GBR is 3rd.

Yea, that's a problem since I didn't save the Excel workbook.  I suck.. sorry about that!

Let's try this again.

 

Left side is results.  I didn't do all the tiebreakers to figure out exact places, this is just to figure out who gets to the semis.

 

Dark green = advance to semis

Light green = advance to semis via tiebreaker

Red = lose tiebreaker and finish out of top 4

Blue = 3-way tie that would go to a draw shot challenge

 

GBR is eliminated with a loss to USA.  I just realized that last line may be inaccurate because Germany and China could enter the conversation because it is possible the 4th place team has a 4-5 record.

 

Let me know if any of this looks wrong @Josh

Was wondering how it got to be 6-0 after 3 ends.  What an utter disaster
