The graphic is wrong:
* The tied teams shall be ranked in the standings according to the lowest quotient of fewest runs allowed divided by the number of defensive outs recorded in the games in that round between the teams tied.
Specifically, it’s runs allowed per outs against ONLY the tied teams.

So basically in the event that Italy beats the US & Mexico beats Italy….
Whichever two teams have alllowed the least runs in the games between the 3 teams would advance
As it stands right now:
USA: 8 runs allowed ( 4 innings remaining )
Mexico: 5 runs allowed ( 9 innings remaining )
Italy: 0 runs allowed ( 13 innings remaining )

Considering the state of education in the USA, you expect folks to understand all of this ?

Please god let Mexico win by just a couple runs because it would be so fuckin funny.

Highest batting average is a tie breaker???

If the score stands, theoretically, Mexico and Italy could « collude » to let them both go through and the US couldn’t do anything about it. That’d be wild.

Those tie breakers are way too complicated. It should be head to head and run differential first and foremost. Runs allowed per defensive out may be one of the dumbest tie breakers ever.

Isn’t this wrong (or at least incomplete)?
Tiebreakers 2 and 3 are supposed to be only between the teams that are tied, not all games, correct?
Seems like MLB/WBC didn’t learn its lesson from 2017 and be more clear regarding the tiebreaker rules.

This makes Skubal look so much more pathetic holy shit

If the USA doesn’t make it through groups, these rules will be different next time.

I haven’t really been following the WBC too closely and I don’t really care if the US wins, so I don’t want this to be viewed as cope or anything
But why is the tiebreaker runs allowed? Wouldn’t run differential make more sense? A 14-8 win is worse than a 1-0 win? Why?

Just an insanely stupid format especially for baseball, the double elimination was better

Highest batting average? WBC needs to get with the times and just award it to the team with the highest collective xwoba

Team USA all but officially eliminated on run differential

Why can’t they just do run differential?

What does « determined by draw » mean?
Like we are picking the advancing team’s name out of a hat?

1. Why don’t they do run differential?
Cause it causes team to continue unnecessary aggressive attack after leading by a lot. If we only count earned runs then it’s mainly about pitchers trying their best at all times.
2. Will this cause US to be eliminated with an Italy-Mexico collaboration should US lose against Italy?
THEN DON’T LOSE TO ITALY YOU LOSE ONE GAME YOU LOSE THE CHANCE TO DECIDE YOUR FATE.
