Okay, commenting now:
Elves: played 2, won 1, lost 0, tied 1, scored 4, received 3
Goblins: played 1, won 0, lost 1, tied 0, scored 1, received 2
Treefolk: played 1, won 0, lost 0, tied 1, scored 2, received 2
Reasoning: Wizard said treefolk didn't tie, meaning they did tie with either goblins or elves. It can't be goblins because the wizard lied about goblins tying once, which means the treefolk tied with elves. Which means elves played the goblins because the wizard lied about the goblins playing 2 games, they must have only played 1 because every team has played once. Treefolk must have tied 22 or 11 and it can't be 11 because the wizard lied about them having received 1 hit, so they tied 22 with the elves. Elves have got to win 1 game because the wizard lied about them winning 0 games, and they tied with the treefolk so they must have won their game with the goblins. They either win 41 or 21 because the wizard lied about the goblins receiving 3 hits, and it can't be 41 because the wizard lied about them scoring 6 hits in total (4 on goblins and 2 on treefolk) and thus they must have won 21 against the goblins. And then all the numbers check out: elves score a total of 4 and receive 3, goblins score 1 and receive 2, treefolk tied with the elves scoring 2 and receiving 2. Was I correct? Will come back to this comment.

Tree folk and Elves ended up getting the same score, and center realm's new owner could not be chosen. This sparked a catastrophic war between the two, which is on track to wipe out both nations. You, as a goblin war tactician (and former jousting score keeper) must decide when the tree folk and goblins are weak enough to be attacked and destroyed by your armies, and do it as soon as possible, to minimize damage dealt to center realm. The cursed wizard helps once again, and another riddle begins!
And so another riddle begins.

So, I am a little lost. Why couldn't the elves score 3 against the goblins. Since they only scored two against the treefolk, they could have scored three against the goblins and still not be six.
In that same match why couldn't the score be elves-3, goblins-2?
That was the only thing I couldn't figure out on my own- the score of the elves vs. Goblins.
Could someone maybe explain that to me?
