England - Scotland was ‘no result’ so technically a tie with 1 point apiece

Do they not replay that game?

There is no time to replay

Interesting. How does it impact the group standings? What happens if there is a tie between those two teams to get into the next round but they have no result in that game to judge tiebreaker from?

Actually, for this reason we have a super over. It works like a tiebreaker.

Technically it's no result.
A tie game happens when two teams are at the same score after completing both innings.

You are absolutely right. What about my concern??
If a game was so close that it ended in a draw, then I think the chance should remain in the pool

No, it shouldn't be to be really honest.
Even 1 run can win or lose you a match so it cannot get any closer than that.

First of all, there's no game in T20 that ends in a draw. We always get a 'result' or 'no result'.
Also, the rules for the pool have been decided prior to the world cup. If a match gets to a result anyhow, that result will always be counted for the pool.
Team winning in innings or in super over, a win is a win and a loss is a loss, so there's no point of discussing it.

You can agree or disagree with my point. but what the hell,
"a win is a win and a loss is a loss, so there is no point of discussing it."
We are here for discussion and learning something on SN.

No one was eliminated in this game. But in the game I am talking about, many were eliminated in a close game

That's the whole point of prediction, one wins and the other loses, doesn't matter the margin close or long.

Yes, there were two tie games but the result was possible due to a super over.

I know many people who gamble on matches. They also get their money back if the match is tied, whether they win or lose in super over

This isn't gambling. Don't relate it with that. This is just a way to be engaged with the sports.

Strong Words: it's not gambling.

If it is a problem for you to express my opinion on any point, then you should never mention me in any of your posts. In my opinion, you do not want anyone to win. I just wanted a fair chance for everyone. There are 50 plus game in world cup and I am taking about only 2 game

Why do you say "you do not want anyone to win"?
I didn't read anywhere that if we all get eliminated no one wins. Doesn't the last one eliminated win? So how can that be not wanting anyone to win?

I had only asked people for their opinion, but instead of having a healthy discussion, @Coinsreporter refuting others. That's why I said the following.

I see. Well, it seems from the comments everyone is good with super over being the tiebreaker and from coinsreporter's perspective it is a lot easier to administer a pool if there are no ties. I understand your frustration if you think the rules were not clear but I have run many of these pools on SN and they are a lot of work, so trying to keep rules simple and no have ties is very helpful to the person running it. Personally, I think he is doing a good job for his first SN pool.

I think, you haven't read today's pool post entirely. You have to read if you want to be informed. Otherwise, it's all black.
I've asked stackers if they want the minimum 3 match loss to high up to 6 or 7 but everyone said it's fine. Also, if you lose, you have the option to rejoin the pool. Many eliminated stackers have joined the pool today.

out of last 10, 2 matches are tied.
  1. Oman vs Namibia
  2. Pakistan vs USA

Ok. Super overs are specifically ‘tie breakers’. So no tie can take place except in the case of a no result.
I don’t know where the t20 equivalent of the Laws are published.

In cricket games are not tied, except the rain affected matches and that too if they don't get strated or a certain amount of overs are not bowled & Duckworth & Lewis method has not come into effect.
Therefore, One shouldn't be eliminated or get a strike for a match that doesn't finish like rain affected match.

Any rain affected game doesn't get counted for the pool. All predictions are cancelled because the game is not completed. This pool only counts when a game is finished with a result.

when a game is finished with a result
Or with a no result :D

Not sure I quite understand? A no result should be treated as such and wouldn’t count towards an elimination would it?

Noone was eliminated in the 'no result' game.

I agree with your point. That was technically a tie. So there were three tie matches in last 10 games

In t20's there are no ties. There's always a tie-breaker with super over.
The tie everyone is talking about is the no result games where match couldn't be completed because of bad weather/rain therefore, they're declared as no results or match abandoned and both teams get 1 point each.

Ok - @Coinsreporter and @BitcoinAbhi
Calm down. We are where we are. It’s @Coinsreporter ball and he decides how the pool is played regardless of the rules in other organisations or syndicates etc.
We all know the difference in a no-result and a tie… and t20 specifically doesnt have ‘ties’ due to the inclusion of super-overs.
Let’s get back to arguing about how Uganda are likely to win this thing…

Haha! There's my friend to save me from blushes of getting defeated in a super over. Thanks for the save!

Yes, I'm more interested in fun than frustration over nothing.
I would love to see Uganda beat either of Newzealand or West Indies. I like opposite results.

I mean in T20 matches, there are two ways, match winner in regular way and match winner in extra over. It's very less chance to happen match goes to draw in T20s and match goes to extra over but it happens. I think if the match is draw due to certain circumstances like rain then there should be chance to remain in pool. But if the matches goes to extra overs and winner is choosen then prediction goes fair.
