They have been saying all the time it is scoring difference. I think it is head to head first and then scoring difference. A Cork win puts them through. If Waterford beat Clare they need Tipp to beat Cork also to qualify. So if Clare win and Tipp win I can not see how Tipp do not qualify.

Brilliant weekend of hurling ahead. Biggest problem will be to keep on Saturday evening and then Sunday. All games are do at die and some teams even need other results to go their way. My predictions are as follows; Seeking_silver (Limerick) - Posts: 411 - 20/05/2022 14:10:39 2418966 Link 0 |
Just figured it out. If Clare and tipp win. Then you will have 3 teams on 2 points. 2 of the teams will have beaten each other so head to head will not count. So then it comes down to scoring different.

He played well. Just I think Monaghan and Whelan were outstanding. I was answering a post that reckoned him and Monaghan have played better than Whelan and Concannon.

Yes that's because there won't be a 3 way tie if Cork win. Only if Tipp and Clare both win.

If Clare and Tipp win, then Tipp,Waterford and Cork all have the same number of points, ie 2. Then score difference comes into play. If Cork beat Tipp they are through, If Cork and Tipp draw and Waterford beat Clare, Waterford go through. If there are draws in Ennis and Thurles Cork will stay in the chase.

Tipp will have to win by a load of points and Clare probably have to win by a good few too for Tipps points difference to overtake Cork and Waterfords.

Even if 2 of the teams hadn't beat each other it's scoring difference if its a 3 way tie. Only head to head if 2 teams tied.

If Clare win and Tipperary win it will be a three way tie, each with 2 points then it will come down to scoring as Tipp are well in the minus category behind the others it is unlikely they can make up the deficit..

I understand. Both Whelan and Concannon have been recovering from injury, hence the lack of sharpness esp with Concannon.

If they is no tie and 3 teams are tied on points 2 teams will have beaten each other.

Oldtourman It is a bit confusing. If all three end up on two points then Tipp trumps Cork on the head to head but Waterford trump Tipp on the head to head but not Cork. It must be then the scoring difference kicks in.

1. A win in Ennis will see us through if Cork lose or draw against Tipperary. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2658 - 20/05/2022 16:42:46 2419038 Link 0 |
Tipp would have to beat Cork by 6 or more and Clare beat Waterford by 9 or more for Tipp to go through. Highly unlikely but stranger things have happened. Fingers crossed for the gene pool :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2551 - 20/05/2022 18:20:49 2419059 Link 0 |
Am I wrong in thinking the Gaa have made little of an all ireland under 20 hurling final??its a disgrace it is being played as a curtain raiser to cork/tipp at weekend..of course our boys on fixtures thought cork would be beaten last week ,with the all ireland before the senior it makes sure more than 20,000 will attend..

Yes, Cork are through with a win - nobody is disputing that. We were discussing what happens if Tipp and Clare both win. In that case, there is a 3-way tie which would be decided on scoring difference, not head-to head.

It's points difference in the case of a 3 way tie. Head to head is irrelevant Newyorkkat

Interesting teams picked for the 2 munster championship games. Right or wrong clare have rested a few. They still have a strong 15 named but it's giving a nice advantage to Waterford. Clare are entitled to do as they wish they've earned the right. Personally i think when you're going well don't change but the risk of losing likes of kelly and conlon was too much for lohan. I still feel Waterford will earn this if they are to win. Missing prunty along with Iarlaith daly weakens their Full back line hugely and I see clare again going route one of Duggan and Taylor, o donnell finding space to clip points. Duggan I think is still a bit rusty but nice chance for him tomorrow. Waterford should win but nothing can be taken for granted. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1126 - 21/05/2022 10:05:50 2419095 Link 0 |
If we were to do some very early predictions it is looking like: skirge7 (UK) - Posts: 248 - 21/05/2022 10:29:41 2419103 Link 0 |
Yes if more than two teams end on the same number of points points' it is score difference. The Head to head only comes into play if two teams end up with the same number of points.
