The USA would have won the Olympiad even if we had lost our last round to Lebanon.
The tie-break was SB using game points*match points. The USA SB was 413.5 & Ukraine 404.5, a difference of 9. Their Scottish component was 3.5*12 = 42. A loss would mean 3.5*10 =35 reducing SB to 406.5 still winning.
