In a 3 team tie between China, Korea, and Denmark, the top 2 teams with most matches won will advance. Lets assume that Denmark beats Sweden 5-0 and Korea beat China 3-2. In this case, it will go down to the difference between games won and games lost. Before this match, China has 25 Games won, 9 games lost. Korea has 24 games won, 15 games lost. Lets assume that Korea beats China tomorrow. Xia vs Lee.. Xia wins 3-2. Bao vs Sheung.. Sheung wins 3-2. Lin vs Park.. Lins wins 3-1. Ha/Kim vs ZJ/ZW... Ha/Kim wins 3-0. Finally, Chen/Wang vs Lee/Yoo... Lee/Yoo wins 3-1. That would mean Korea wins 3-2 tie. The decision now goes down to games won. Total after three ties for both countries... China has 34 games won and 21 games lost. Their total difference in games would be 13. Korea has 36 games won and 25 games lost. Their total difference would be 11 games. So, China would still advance to SF no matter what. And the difference in games calculations that I made above are assuming that Bao loses to Sheung and that Xia is streched to 5 games which I dont think will happen. Chen/Wang might even get 2 games on Lee/Yoo. So, korea basically has to beat China with several 3-0 or 3-1 matches tomorrow to advance to SF. The pair that will get that is Ha/Kim. Aside from that, Xia/Bao/Lin cant lose 3-1 or 3-0 to the korean counterparts. Chen/Wang should get at least 1 game if not 2 on Lee/Yoo. So, essentially, China has almost CLINCHED a spot in the SF. Who they face whether Indo or Malaysia depends on the games difference between Denmark and Sweden. Hugo P.S. if anybody finds any errors with this calculation please post ur revisement.
