You will look into games played vs the drop-out team to see about bonus points for the next round but not if one team is .1 pts behind another for the last spot to advance but beat the drop out team twice while the other lost it's only game they played against them.
Just so you understand. There is no speculation involved. There's no "what ifs" involved. Even assuming team 1 beat team 6 in their second game (best case scenario for them), had it been played, they would have finished behind us in the standings.
Detlef I think you missunderstand
What I said is that Karlo & I have 7 victories & 1 lost game.
I just mentioned that we take + 1 vitory against drop-out team, but this will not take in calculation. We have 87,5 % of wins (7-1) and thats why we will have 0,875 x 2 (instead of 0,6 x 2) for the drop-out team. Correct me if I am wrong
No, I completely understand what you are saying. That is, since you batted .875 against the field, it is fair to assume that you would have done similarly against the drop out team, especially in light of the fact that you beat them in the only game you played them. As it stands, you are only getting .2 pts credit for the unplayed game which seems thin. I completely understand your logic.
That said, it is not unfeasible to think you could have lost that game and ended up with a total of 1 pt rather than the 1.2 you now have.
Now, consider our position. We did, in fact, play both games against that team and beat them twice. There is no need to factor in how we might have done. We have two wins in hand and have .8 pts less to show for it. Meanwhile, a team that appears in position to finish .1 pt ahead of us for the final spot played them once and lost. Had team 6 not dropped, the most they could have earned from them was 1 pt and yet they have 1.2 to show for it. As you can see, those "free" .2 pts they got sure came in handy.
If we were in a similar position against a team who only played them once and beat them, I wouldn't be saying boo. After all, it is entirely possible the team in question could also beat them twice had they been given the chance.
It should be noted, however, that I simply suggested that we be allowed to play team 1 in a do or die, not that we should be taken ahead of them. This suggestion was denied. Basically, my suggestion was that the penalty we "earned" and the "penalty" that team 6 earned on our behalf cancel each other out.
