South America vs Europe Doubleheader




It's official, both the final and the third place playoff will be contested by a European team against a South American team. The hosts Brazil will play against Netherlands for third place. The Championship will be contested by Germany and Argentina.

As such, the current standings are intriguing.

Netherlands 0(2)-0(4) Argentina

Praeceptor: Spain 2:3 Argentina   Argentina
Musicus: Italy 1:3 Argentina   Argentina
Scriptor: Spain 1:0 Argentina
Artifex: England 0:1 Russia

Ferrarius: Australia 0:1 Germany   Germany


STANDINGS:


68/11








63/10








58/10









52/12










50/7









41/8





As such, the standings show that this contest comes down to 2 contestants. Praeceptor is heavily favored to win. The only contestant capable of toppling Praeceptor is Musicus. However, in order to do so, Netherlands must win against Brazil 2-1, and Argentina must defeat Germany 3-1. This will give Musicus 70 points while Praeceptor will finish with 68. Other scenarios see Praeceptor and Musics finishing tied on points, in which case the tie-breaking procedures indicate Praeceptor would win. Congratulations contestants. Saturday will be very interesting.
