So what happens if there is a 3 way tie for 4th after the round robin?

Oh wait, that might not be correct, I was relying on someone on twitter that said there was one tiebreaker, but now he says there's one tiebreaker session with potentially multiple matches, so I have no idea how this works e: OK, here's how it works according to the World Curling Federation: quote:If three teams are tied at 3-4-5: DSC* - Draw Shot Challenge decides the ranking, and could change after session 12's last Last Stone Draw. Based on their site, there doesn't seem to be a possible situation where 3 teams are tied at 4-5-6, at least on the men's side Zeeman fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Feb 20, 2018 |

I guess they may rank the tiebreaker teams (by records against each other or whatever) and the top 2 based on the rankings play for the last playoff spot while the others play for their final rankings? I dunno.

They haven't calculated the possible results on the women's side yet (because we can still hypothetically end up with a 6 team tie if things get crazy), but here are the men's possibilities: http://www.worldcurling.org/owg2018/scenarios-men (There's a PDF link here)

Zeeman posted:Based on their site, there doesn't seem to be a possible situation where 3 teams are tied at 4-5-6, at least on the men's side For the women it happens if: 1) CAN defeats GBR and OAR; 2) SWE wins one and loses the other in remaining games with USA and CHN; 3) JPN defeats SWI. Let's just say Korea wins out (it doesn't matter what they do, they've qualified) with the above situation and it would create a final standings that looks like this: South Korea 8-1 Sweden 6-3 Japan 6-3 Great Britain 5-4 Canada 5-4 China or USA 5-4 To determine who gets into the 4-5-6 tiebreaker, the record against those other teams, then by LSD. The team with the worst showing is then just plain eliminated and the other two play the tiebreaker. Canada would have an advantage there if it was the USA that got into the tie, probably LSD too since Team Homan I think is top two in the tournament in that. As an off-shoot of the above, if Japan lost then there would be a 3-4-5-6 tie with two tiebreaker games and winners of those advancing to the playoff round. There is a possibility of a six way tie for second place as well, meaning three concurrent tiebreaker games being played with winners advancing. They probably use the same sort of rules for that, but somewhere there is also a rule for just straight up drawing names out of a hat for opponents.

Was the Korean womens team favored this year? I assume Canada was the favorite, but did anybody see Korea blowing the competition away like this?

Yeah it's wacky on the women's side. For maximum confusion, I want the following to happen. Sweden loses to China and USA Canada beats Great Britain and Denmark Japan loses to Switzerland That places 6 teams tied for 2nd at 5-4.

I need to vent somewhere how the Finnish olympics broadcaster is apparently boycotting the Korean women's team. They show one match per round and exactly zero of those have included the underdog success story home team.

The women's event is total chaos for most people who follow curling, including myself. Canada, Switzerland, and Russia have played well below expectations while Korea is so much better than anybody predicted. Props also to the US and Japan who are in the thick of the playoff race.

Canada about to eliminate both themselves and the Americans (technically the US could earn a tiebreaker with Japan if Japan loses to Switzerland, but lol at that).

I was one place closer than most predictions! Still, did not see that coming at all. Also Canada didn't win a medal twice when it was still a demonstration sport. 1924 and 1992 in the men's event.

Apparently the Russians replaced their third with the alternate a couple matches ago since they're out of the tournament. I thought alternates are usually the first or second. Still don't understand how Sidorova lost to these chucklefucks.
