First Match Play – Quad One USA teams will face a World team in one quad set, so there will be a total of three quad sets. A quad set will consist of eight games. All of the eight games will use the map and setting chosen by one of the players in the set. Second Match Play - Double One USA teams will face a World team in one double set, so there will be a total of six double sets. A double set will consist of eight games.

Scoring The winning team or player in each set will score one point for there team. Regardless of the amount of games won, a team or player can score a maximum of 1 point. If the teams or players are tied at the end of a set will each be awarded a half point (1/2) for their team.
Champions The team with the most points at the end of all three match plays will win the “Ricco Cup”. Ties will be broken by one Quad Set, if still tied, one double set, if tied one single set, if still tied, the order will continue until the tie is broken. As a Grand Finale invitation only style tournament players on the winning team will receive a GA medal but will NOT receive a tournament medal.[/quote]

Note, it has been asked about the maps.
Two things here.
Currently there are no restrictions. I have pmed both captains to see if they wish any reasonable restrictions (no beta, no freestyle, no manual, no nuclear). If both captains agree to any or all of these they will be implimented for the tournament but neither side is required to do so.
Also, it has been asked if a player can wait and consult with their team mates on maps and settings, this is permissible and for this reason, maps and settings will be editable by the players until May 25. After that time they are locked in.

Also, you will not know your opponents.
For example, Mudpuppy will set his US squad in 4 teams of quads
he'll then send it to me as Team A (player 1, 2, 3, 4) Team B (player 1, 2, 3, 4) and Team C (player 1, 2, 3, 4)
Sonicsteve will do the same for the World Squad and Team A will play Team A, Team B will play Team B and Team C will play Team C.

Apparently I pulled Shoop76's information when he had a Canadian sitter in there for him.
Here's how we're going to handle this particular situation.
1. If all 12 US players accept the invitation shoop will play on the World Team, if one of the US players declines, Shoop will move over to the US squad.
(unless there is a player on the US team flying the wrong flag-easy to do if I catch them with a sitter)
