2 Major Critics on The
Way to Determine The Best Third for Euro 2016
or Generally Speaking a
Debate on The Tiebreake Rules for
Cross-Groups Qualification
For Euro 2016, due to prime number (53) of participants, it is required
to qualify a best third team, by way of a tiebreake rule.
Thanksfully,
Turkey, scored a unic level that doesn’t give way too much (not at all) debate…
But will it be always so with current way of determining the “best”, apart of
ranking the teamsaccording to their
scores?
This years’ problem had a prerequisite; to levigate, the number of teams in each group; but the solution to this, was interdependently determining the final qualification, the best third The rule was, to equalize the number of teams within each group, through eliminating of the last rank team of larger groups, with all outcomes. . That one is really a criticable rule due to its bias-relatedness with the next step, i.e. the adopted rule, determines also the next phase, best third, as it happend this time.. .

That’s a way! Within 8 groups with 6 teams, last rank
team is eliminated with all outomes, in order to be equal by number to the 9th
group of 5 teams. And that one was done after the qualifications of first 2 teams
within each group; Thanksfully, the
ranking of first 2 doesn’t change in any of these groups, after the groups
after the elimintion; but it may not be always so, in one of the days, it may effect the ranking of first 2 and even
more than 2.
That’s a way, once again! But instate of eliminating last rank team
of larger groups with all their results, it mght be thought to duplicate the last rank team of smaller groups
with all their outcomes and making the qualification for the best third than
after. In our real case, the first 2 ranks does not effects in any of the groups, but Turkey
looses level, and Hungary and Norway promote to the best third.
Which way is better? Generaly speaking, a model with higher
number of trials (here number of matches) is much more up to more accuracy,
statistically; taken for granted, the groups are at same level of hardness.
Therefor, duplicating the last rank of smaller
groups, with all the outcomes (including card penalties also) seems to be better,
besides reduces the task to evaluate.
But, the equality of hardness of groups, is not totally free of
discussions; especially with minorly populated countries; therefor reducing the
size of groups, deserves always some considerations.
But, the problematic doesn’t end here. Where
we will stop reducing the size of groups,
stays critical here. Taking into consideration mostly adopted and accepted
as tiebreake rules, especially the rule
for deadlocked competitors.
Decreasing the number of competitors, one by one in each group in order to
determine the qualifed team(s) (here the 3th rank), and make the cross-groups qualification(s),
(here the best third) then after.
In such a case the results will be as
follows.
For Group A, Iceland, should be winner; Czech
Rebuplic and Turkey will be at tiebreake, and Turkey should be qualified as
runner-up according the tiebreake rule 2 (Superior goal difference resulting
from the matches played between the teams in question), and Czech Rebuplic
should wait to be evaluated for best third.

Last word; as it can be seen, the chosen method,
also may qualify the winner, runner-up. Therefor this is just the time of to reconsider, the qualification
rules, within a group and accross-groups.
A model interrelatedly causing less bias,
should be evaluated as the best; in our case, a model with minimum nominees for
qualification.
