does that mean we recalculate whether they actually receive the award?

It rained and they ended up being awarded Knighthoods instead due to the weird nature of the predictive scoring.

Duckworth and Lewis and the case of the minor mistake.

I'm dissappointed the MBE people didn't take into account the obvious limitations of DL method when it comes to 20/20 and Messrs D&L's stubborn nay pathological refusal to recognise the fact.
