Case contract

Rugby union league points. results rows are [team, tries, score, opponent, opp_tries, opp_score]. Win 4 points, draw 2, loss 0. A try bonus point is earned by any team scoring 4 or more tries, and a losing bonus point by a team that loses by 7 points or fewer (both can apply to a loser). Rank by points, then wins, then points difference, then name. Return [team, points, wins, points difference] rows for teams that appear.

Why this case matters

Bonus-point tables are tight; each threshold changes qualification.
