Rodion's 13 Colonies Doubles Challenge - [Winners: 1st post]

Winners are Rodion and thebest712.

13 Colonies
Doubles
Sequential
Automatic
Casual
No spoils
Chained
Foggy

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.

Massachusetts - Rodion and poguemahone -> after round 3, changed to Rodion and thebest712
New Hampshire - I_AM_BOGEY and Edgron
Rhode Island - BluU and amirberner
Connecticut - rkcved and humrlmo

New Jersey - Deadpool and Yut
Pennsylvania - Tiller and bjf5893

Maryland - aaronvollrath and beeps
Virginia - Redfelt and lokisgal
North Carolina - Bigroo4601 and aspalm
South Carolina - soldierboy and gromph
Georgia - pearljamrox2 and WPBRJ

Reserve team: Moonchild and TBD

Round 1 eliminations - New Hampshire, New York, Delaware, Virginia and South Carolina
Round 2 elimination - Rhode Island
Teams that went 1-1 and 1-1 and need to win both round 3 games to advance (they can also get a GA medal by going 1-1 before the other) - Massachusetts and New Jersey
Teams not mentioned only need to win 1 round 3 game in order to advance!
Round 3 eliminations - New Jersey, Maryland and Georgia
Nobody managed to go 1-1, 1-1 and 1-1, so GA medal was not given.
Round 4 eliminations - Connecticut and North Carolina.
2 teams are left alive and they both won 2 round 4 games. Both teams will now play 2 games against each other until one team sweeps the other.
Round 5 - 1-1 between Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
Round 6 - 1-1 between Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
Round 7 - 1-1 between Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
Round 8 - Massachusetts sweeps Pennsylvania for the championship

And by the way

Philadelphia is a city, not a state.
The name of the state is "Pennsylvania"

I actually knew that. :lol:

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

But thanks for the reminder!
