FA-83896 / Sports scoring and tiebreakers / Open access
Current set score dropped from or padded into the set list · case 01
An in-progress set is missing from the scoreboard, or a phantom "0-0" set appears after a set ends.
ROOT CAUSE
The trailing in-progress set is never appended to the output.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Append the current set only when at least one game has been played in it.
Unsuccessful approach: Always appending the current set adds "0-0" immediately after a completed set.
Case contract
games is a string of game winners (A/B); best_of is 3 or 5. A set is won by the first player to 6 games with a lead of two, or at 7 games (7-5, or 7-6 after the tiebreak game played at 6-6). The match ends when a player has won best_of // 2 + 1 sets; later games are ignored. Return [set scores as "a-b" strings in A-B order, match winner or None]; an unfinished set with at least one game is appended as its current score.
Why this case matters
Tournament live-results feeds reconstruct set scores from game-level events.

Verification & scope
Stipulated, bounded toy contract stated in the contract field; not a claim of conformance with any governing body rulebook or operator house rules. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
