This might be a stupid question, but what is the TF column? Grande (talk) 05:59, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Colors After 7 Games edit

Lots of edits going back and forth. As it stands now, England should be grey and Romania is red. Everyone else is blank. This is because Georgia still has a chance to finish #2 or #3 in the pool. If they do so, either Argentina OR Scotland could drop to #4.

  • Georgia beats Romania, earns a bonus point. ARG/10, SCO/10, GEO/5.
  • Scotland loses to England, earns no bonus points. ARG/10, SCO/10, GEO/5.
  • Georgia beats Argentina, earns a bonus point, denies Argentina a bonus point. ARG/10, SCO/10, GEO/10.

So with three teams tied on 10, the first tie-breaker is points difference. Argentina (currently on +32) and Scotland (currently on +18) would be worse than they our now, due to losing their last match. Georgia, having won two matches, would have improved upon their current -40. In this scenario, these three teams can finish in any order, which means that each can advance to the quarterfinal, each can qualify merely for 2015, and each can finish #4.My Dinner With Andre The Giant (talk) 16:11, 25 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
