Entry rule #1: doubles must have 4000+ points at the moment I check their subscription.
Entry rule #2: every team has to pick one of the 13 Colonies or their request to join the challenge will be null and void.

Your schedule throughout the tournament depends on the Colony you picked!

Format:

2 2v2 games are played per round.

First round schedule is already defined:
Massachusetts <-> New Hampshire <-> Rhode Island <-> Connecticut <-> New York <-> New Jersey <-> Pennsylvania <-> Delaware <-> Maryland <-> Virginia <->North Carolina <-> South Carolina <-> Georgia <-> Massachusetts

Elimination rule #1: if you lose both games, you're eliminated.
Elimination rule #2: if you don't win 4 games every 3 rounds (1/2/3 - 4/5/6 - 7/8/9 and so on), you're eliminated.
Elimination rule #3: elimination rule #2 doesn't apply if it leads to all remaining teams being eliminated.

Future round schedules will be the same in case nobody is eliminated. They only change when teams are eliminated and they will always follow the predetermined order above.
Examples:
- if Pennsylvania is eliminated, New Jersey and Delaware will face each other.
- if both North Carolina and South Carolina are eliminated in the same round (see elimination rule #2), Virginia and Georgia will face each other.

If at any moment 2 teams are left, they will play each other twice per round.

Last team standing is the winner!

General Achievement medal: "At least my tuxedo is spotless" - awarded to the first team that is eliminated after going 1-1, 1-1 and 1-1.

I actually knew that.

Both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are from Pennsylvania. Eagles and Steelers even formed the Steagles when there was war.

But thanks for the reminder!
