You'll see this:

Update! I have updated this tool to version 1.3.

Update: Version 1.3 (July 26 2007)
1. Fixed a flaw in handling 3-way 2-1 situation with the bottom two 2-1 teams on quotient being tied there as well. (For example, A, B, C tied at 2-1, A have +3 quotient and B,C have -2 quotient, the team that would have the right to 2nd place is the team that won the match between B&C.)
2. Here's the new link (fixed):

Thanks buddy. The computations are correct, but this is not a statistical simulation or something, this is merely a prediction.

By the way, I have updated this file to version 1.1. Please see the post at the start of the thread regarding changes. Enjoy

wow....good work Jayphcool. nice stats. so based on your stats, RP will win. Is this the same method used when a group from businessmen around the world predicted Italy to win the World Cup (Soccer)? Before the World Cup, everybody was saying Brazil, Germany and Argentina would win until this press release came from a business group stating on the contrary that Italy would instead win it. and everyone was astounded when Italy indeed won the WC....hope your computations are correct.

2. Automatically sort the group standings
3. Automatically determines who will advance if there are tie standings
4. Automatically compute diferrential margins for tiebreak
5. Well, just use it (nice for making and comparing predictions as well)

I would not mind receiving some feedback.Here's the link:

Edited: I just attached the file for easy download

Lets use this thread to share our own predictions using this tool, here's mine. Have fun:

we have basically the same quarterfinalist and semifinalists.. And with this set up, Philippines has more of a chance to win-it-all..

Nice. You seem to be doing a better job than whoever is in charge of the FIBA Asia website.

During the FIBA World 2006, FIBA released an electronic scoreboard similar to this that became my inspiration here. However, after using it, I was disappointed in its inaccuracy especially in computing for tiebreak situations and applying quotient system, which happens a lot. So I would say this is an improvement over that.

Thanks for the feedback!
