2024 European Men's Handball Championship
Hi,

When teams have same amount of points, HTH only applies when group is finished, until then it's GD. --Sb008 (talk) 22:37, 21 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * After reading this, I found myself compelled to verify its accuracy on the official site. Surprisingly (for me), you were spot-on. In the realm of sports (apart from handball, for all I know), such a practice is rather uncommon, be it in domestic or international competitions. Typically, team rankings are structured based on all available information, almost as if the present situation will be the final one. This actually aids readers in grasping which team currently leads the pack.
 * What struck me as peculiar is the dynamic nature of this approach. The prospect of positions shifting, even without a change in the teams' point tally, appears counterintuitive. For instance, in the hypothetical scenario where Portugal loses to the Netherlands and Slovenia loses to Denmark, positions would need adjustment, despite neither Portugal nor Slovenia altering their current points.
 * Nevertheless, this seems to be the established norm.
 * Thank you for shedding light on this intriguing aspect.
 * Best regards,
