Can't be a three-way tie in a round-robin pool of four, right?
But there could be a four-way tie, right? No one would win the pool. Each team in the next round would get a bye or 9-0 ghost victory.

can't you have 2-1, 2-1, 2-1, 0-3?

Of course you can. What was I thinking?

Maybe they should make this a proper 16-team double elimination tournament played at Canton, MI's Softball City over the course of a weekend.

yeah to me that's the problem with round-robin play, esp. when they're gonna have filler teams like south africa who will inevitably get hammered. too many ties, this isn't soccer, if you want to do round-robin correctly i think you'd need each team to play each other twice.

"The Japanese coach ordered a bunt from the second – and without doubt first-rate – batter of the team, and as a result, presented the opponents with their second out.
I am sure that, for our experienced team, that would seemed an error whichever elemental way it is analyzed."

You didn't miss much; Oswald just got shellacked when the Jap hitters figured him out and started slapping singles to the opposite field. Brian Roberts did not help.
