I just did some math on the Italy/Serbia/Dominican Republic group.
Let's assume that Domincan Republic and italy will win their games against Puerto Rico.

 

Then there are two possible outcomes:

 

1) Serbia looses against Dominican Republic

-> 1st place in group I goes to Domincan Republic

-> 2nd place in group I goes to Italy (and will potentially face USA in the QF)

 

2) Serbia wins against Dominican Republic

-> Serbia/Italy/Dominican Republic are tied 

-> next criteria is the difference in baskets for the matches between the teams with the same number of points 

-> Italy is already fixed at 160-163 = -3

-> Domincan Republic is currently at +5

-> Serbia is at -2

=> It is not possible for Italy to finish in 1st place (and avoid USA in the QF). It is possible that Italy will finish in 3rd place (if Seribia wins with less than 8 points).

 

OK...first assumption already failed. :facepalm:

So I would say...everything is possible in group I (all teams tied with 7 points)

Looks like :PUR got the win over :DOM that essentially turns the final group game into an elimination match. Here are the permutations and rankings:

 

Winner :ITA :PUR
:DOM

1.  :DOM

2. :ITA

1.  :PUR

2. :DOM

:SRB

1.  :ITA

2. :SRB

1.  :SRB

2. :PUR

 

Wow, so a win for the QF but no team can gain 1st place by their own.

Yup and with :USA looming for second place (unless they throw their final game) things will be a bit tense. Italy/Puerto Rico will occur first so Dominican Republic/Serbia will know if they are playing for first or second in the group.

At least it is fair as DomRep an Serbia cannot both reach the finals.

And even if DomRep/Serbia will know that they will face USA in the QF it is nonetheless better than loosing in the group stage.

To be honest, better for us to lose to DR and not bother with 3 more meaningless games in the WC.

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
