She cracks me up sometimes, that wife of mine

So track back to how this series was setup

Drove the wife to work yesterday so we only had one car at the Bar hop last night
In line at the Coffeeshop she says "So they both won a game, why is Canada the "Winner"

I gave her the line I heard about nothing counts before the Final game yada yada
Wife "That is just stupid"

I am not the only one hehehehe

Oh you'll never get me to say it wasn't stupid.

"I don't make the news. I just report it."

You would think all involved would have agreed to the series format and found it comprehensible before play began. Would there be as much made of the formatting of the tournament if the US had won?

If the US won it would have made sense

2-0 ie Round Robin Rules... At least every Round Robin Tourney I ever played

Doesn't much matter Canada won, it just didn't make much sense 1-1 but they won


And Sadly the Aves Lost last night

Like I said, all parties agreed to the format. The format was obviously not round robin then. It obviously mattered who won in both Canada and the US to anyone seeing even news clips of the games.

Bob

Yes Bob Canada won, we got it

Another question about the stupidity of the Series rules

So why did the US even play Sweden, they didn't need a win, it accomplished nothing toward the final, the smart move would have been to concede the game and rest the US players for the final.. I knew this thing would bug me it simply made no sense

No, I do not think you do get how deeply political who won or lost the tourney was.

You will have to ask whoever agreed to the format for the tourney to get an answer to what is bugging you about the format. I sure don't have any answers to that.

But here you are 'Answering" anyway

ps: So far only YOU care about how political it is, that is YOUR problem not mine, go complain to YOUR leaders.. (I will gladly discuss politics with you should you want to open another thread about it)

I am asking about the stupidity of the rules, if you don't know WHY perhaps you should let it go

pss: Canada Won Bob

Again why did the US team even play against the Swedes since it didn't matter, does anyone have a logical reason

Yes, you were puzzling about format, I gave the only answer I could. I doubt anyone on this forum could say why it was set up the way it was. You have to go to the horse's mouth and email the organization that agreed to it. Otherwise, you will keep going in circles like you have one foot nailed to the floor.

It becoming political is not a problem for me as I understand why and have no need to complain to my leaders. To discuss politics in any greater detail is likely against forum rules and guidelines so I won't.
