Suggestion for all worried about the 41st game. just make the challenge 42 games, with pre-agreed tiebreaker if needed.
My comments/objections:
must have a specific defined process for determining a winner, prior to the start of the War. A random triples neutral game is recommended.
The game composition must comprise 100% Team Games. Recommended setup is 25% Doubles, 25% Triples, 25% Quadruples and 25% Choice of Team Games
Two things about these.
Suppose it's a 46-point war... each side making 2 5x(1v1), 10 dubs, 10 trips, 1 quad?
1>It's 42 team games... +20 games/4 points of 1v1. by the rules above, even though it's 42 team games, it's not 100% team, and would be ruled ineligible. Which, frankly, would be BS.
2> It's nowhere near your "recommended setup". Suppose you remove the 1v1s, and add the "suggested" tiebreaker. it's now 42 legal games, but not a format the CDs "like". Would THAT get a medal?
I bring these ideas up to generate thought about them in the mind of the CDs. I want you to consider the consequences of ruling against 1v1s completely. If you MUST hate on them, insist that a valid challenge consist of a minimum 41 points, minimum 40 from TEAM GAMES.
I also am very disturbed by the "Recommendation" for setup and tiebreaker. This feels like the cookie-cutter challenge mold is coming down on us again. That may not be the intent, but it's certainly how it sounds to me.
