Random question: do you know if the tiebreakers are the same as the 2023 WBC group-stage tiebreakers? {Thinking about three-way ties on 2-1 or 1-2.}

Chinese Taipei is +4, Venezuela was +2 coming in, and the US was -6 coming in, so quick math has it at a ten-plus margin, I think?

if Japan beats Venezuela tonight and the USA beats Venezuela tomorrow (by less than 10 runs) then Taiwan qualifies even without a win tomorrow on the three-way tiebreaker at 1-2, which is big even if it's unlikely.
