Tahiti, as the winner of the match over host nation Cook Islands, advanced to the Asia/Oceania play-off repechage, to play the winner of Round 3 of the Asian qualification process.
Tahiti were disqualified from progressing due to fielding ineligible players, so Cook Islands progressed to face Hong Kong instead.

gollark: > [Edit] Worth to note is that Gradual was designed to be a strategy that outperforms Tit for Tat. It has similar properties in that it is willing to cooperate and retaliates against a defecting opponent. Unlike Tit for Tat, which only has a memory of the last round played, Gradual will remember the complete interaction and defect the number of times the opponent has defected so far. It will offer mutual cooperation afterwards again, though.
gollark: The *description* of "Gradual" is pretty understandable.
gollark: How exciting.
gollark: Its score is actually identical.
