Was there a tie?
England - Scotland was ‘no result’ so technically a tie with 1 point apiece
reply
Do they not replay that game?
reply
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?
reply
Actually, for this reason we have a super over. It works like a tiebreaker.
reply
Technically it's no result.
A tie game happens when two teams are at the same score after completing both innings.
reply
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
reply
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.
reply
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.
reply
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.
reply
No one was eliminated in this game. But in the game I am talking about, many were eliminated in a close game
reply
That's the whole point of prediction, one wins and the other loses, doesn't matter the margin close or long.
reply
Yes, there were two tie games but the result was possible due to a super over.
reply
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
reply
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
reply
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?
reply
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.
reply
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.
reply
Thanks for the appreciation.
Please read the rules here.
A T20 eliminates the possibility of a tie with the super over. Hence, there's no question of a tie.
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.
- Oman vs Namibia
- Pakistan vs USA
reply
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.
