Problem B. 4660. (November 2014)

B. 4660. In a championship, every team plays every other team exactly once. 3 points are awarded for winning, 0 for losing, and 1 for a draw. In the case of equal scores, the order of the teams is determined at random. The championship is in progress at the moment. Team \(\displaystyle A\) is leading the points table. If team \(\displaystyle A\) scores exactly \(\displaystyle x\) points in the remaining rounds then they will win the championship. However, if \(\displaystyle A\) scores more than \(\displaystyle x\) points, they will not necessarily win. (It is possible for \(\displaystyle A\) to score more than \(\displaystyle x\).) How many rounds remain to be played in the championship?
