Can anyone explain the scenario in which the USA makes it to the SEMIS???

 

Yes.

 

Korea wins and US wins. Or..........

 

Japan wins tonight and scores 8 or more runs in a 9 inning game and the US wins tomorrow. If Japan wins tonight and scores 7 or less runs then the US does not advance no matter the outcome.

 

If Japan loses and the US loses......then I am not for sure. It will be whoever gives up the least amount of runs between the games played this round between the US, Mexico, and Japan. I looked at it, and I think for the US to advance if Japan and the US both lose, then the US could only lose 1-0, otherwise Japan will advance. I don't think there is anyway that Mexico can adavance, so they will basically be playing for pride and to keep the US out.

 

The tiebreakers of this thing rival the US tax code and NFL salary cap in complexity. They are the rules of the IBF and can be found midway down the page at http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/worldclassic...tory?id=2307635

 

Hope that answers your question. And it's why I love baseball, stats and numbers! :thumb:

      2024 Heritage Mountaineers

      By strongx · Posted

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      2024 Mustangs

      By 1983 · Posted

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
