Main article: 1997 Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Zone

In the Asia/Oceania Zone there were four different tiers, called groups, in which teams compete against each other to advance to the upper tier. Winners in Group II advanced to the Asia/Oceania Zone Group I. Teams who lost their respective ties competed in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group II, whereas teams who lost their play-offs were relegated to the Asia/Oceania Zone Group III in 1998.[1]

gollark: Oh, oops, I got the lever direction mixed up, sorry. I meant that if you left it trapped then it wouldn't have reason to torture you.
gollark: And you can verify that.
gollark: Unless it can somehow precommit to torturing the simulations.
gollark: If it values suffering for its own sake it might as well do it anyway, but I don't think doing the torturing would advance other goals.
gollark: If you ~~*do* pull it~~ leave it contained, I don't think it has any actual reason to torture the simulation, since you can't verify if it's doing so or not and it would only be worth doing at all if it plans to try and coerce you/other people later.
