A team that hits exactly 76 first holds the edge — unless conditions below apply. Comparing two interpretations of the "both hit 76" rule.
🟢 Edge — Only one team hit exactly 76; No Edge conditions not met → that team predicted to win
⚪ No Edge — (a) Neither hit 76 | (b) Both hit 76 (see scenarios) | (c) Only the loser hit 76, AND: deficit after > 7
🔵 Scenario A — Next Possession: "Both hit 76" only = No Edge when opponent hits 76 as their very next score after first team
🟢 Scenario B — Any Time: "Both hit 76" = No Edge whenever both teams hit 76 at any point in the game
