Re-sim

When all your sacrifices to Margaret did not help and you lost or even were eliminated, a common reaction is to tell the host to re-sim. that means: to create new scores for this matchday. Normally hosts only re-sim when the scorination was done wrongly (for example using extra time in the qualifiers) however if a host is doing suspiciously well, he might ask his co-host to re-sim to get worse scores to avoid being called corrupt. That the only corruption is the re-sim makes it a paradoxon in a certain way.

One of the earliest and most notorious re-sims occured in World Cup 9, where a mistake in the scheduling of matches in Group 1 caused all of the results from the first matchday of this group to be repeated. This caused near-riots in Kaze Progressa, as their 2-2 draw away to then-holders Liverpool England was expunged from the records (the re-sim was a 2-0 home win). Fortunately, the country's tough police stepped in, and indeed both teams qualified for that Cup.

A more recent re-sim was at the beginning of World Cup 25, when the omission of Total n Utter Insanity from the entire World Cup competition, spotted after Matchday One, led to the complete restart of the tournament. This led to the expungement of a large number of shock results.
