[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 497370, member: 44360"] This weekend's qualifying action has wrapped up in the Asian pool the results were, The Phillipines 28-18 Sri Lanka and Chinese Taipei 49-31 Singapore. The final standings mean that the Phillipines have been promoted a division in the Asian region and will get to skip the next round of qualifying, while Sri Lanka and Chinese Taipei as the 2nd and 3rd place teams are still alive but have a more difficult route to follow having to play the same round again next year. For Singapore they have been eliminated from qualifying for 2015. In the America's region, Barbados crushed Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 51-0 to win their aggregate series 85-3. SVG therefore has been eliminated. The other match saw the Cayman Islands rebound from their defeat in Jamaica to win 46-13 over Mexico. I will have to wait and see who is advancing as I had thought point differential was the first tie breaker in which case Mexico has advanced, however someone has edited the wikipedia page to show the Cayman's as advancing so I could be mistaken and perhaps head to head result is the primary tie-breaker. (Edit: the head to head is indeed the tie breaker) A quick recap so far: Eliminated: Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Jamaica, Singapore, Mexico Not Advancing in stage but still active: Chinese Taipei and Sri Lanka. Advancing: Barbados, Phillipines, Cayman Islands As it stands now: 76 teams vying for 8 spots. [/QUOTE]
