I've seen other tournaments when groups of 4 have 3 are tied, remove the record of the odd one out, then H2H between the 3 in question, so while still 1-1-1, overall sets / games might have changed. To be honest, I haven't really been following that division at all with the mass player turnover.
Jodie and Freya withdrew from their doubles match with Esther Adeshina and Sonay Kartal Alicia and Olivia beat Emily Arbuthnott and Anna Popescu 6-2 6-2
Thus making one semi stronger than the other:
Barnett/Nicholls v Burrage/Christie
Adeshina/Kartal v Arbuthnott/Popescu
Another example of what can happen when the order of play is done incorrectly.

Nouveau concept. Not playing a match but still in the tournament ...........
Indeed. I should have thought the organisers would wish them to have some of penalty. The screening companies decrease the tournament pay out for each match which is not played!
But they wouldn't given who the withdrawing player is .... especially given the fact that the tournament has suffered lots of withdrawals of key names. it wouldn't be that way if the lesser ranked pair pulled out, as they would most likely give that spot to the next pair in the group.

Even looking at it that way, based on sets between the three of them, it is still Richardson 3-2, Nicholls 2-2 and Allen 2-3, so the order remains the same.
Assuming Allen beat McCutcheon how has the triple tie between Allen/ Nicholls/Richardson been resolved? Does any one know please?
Since they each beat one of the others, I'm going to guess that it could well be on sets won and lost. Richardson 5-2, Nicholls 4-2, Allen 4-3
Did all 3 play each other? H2h within the 3?
Yes they did. Richardson beat Nicholls who beat Allen who beat Richardson. I'll let you work that one out !
Sorry but on sets and games I meant? That would seem safest level to break the tie? Ie just in their h2h matches

Nicholls and Richardson both won their 2 matches easily, in two sets. Vic Allen got one of her two wins in a three set match ... i think that might have been the logic
Looking only at the matches played against each other that would be on sets
Richardson 3-2, Nicholls 2-2, Allen 2-3
So semis would be
Bissett v Nicholls
Richardson v Miller
Nicholls 6-3 6-1 Allen Richardson 6-1 6-1 Nicholls Allen 2-6 6-4 6-3 Richardson
If they do the H2H between the 3 of them then you could see Allen going out due to sets difference between them. We'd obviously have to see the tie breakers they set out at the beginning, but taking most things into account in the last few posts, I'd say Allen could be struggling.
Edit - I was typing that out while SB was submitting posts , but yeah, seem to be on the same wavelength.

Certainly the results section lists each group in the order that supports this line up.
