I'm recruiting 8 pairs = 16 players.
All games are 2v2, with unfairness avoidance in the setup.

16 special maps arranged to form a square of 4 by 4.
Each team may choose 4 maps to play: either in a row, or in a column.

Games don't wait for starting all together:
as soon as a spot is filled the corresponding game starts.

In the first round of the tournament the maps are arranged by alphabetical order. There will be a second round with the same 16 maps, but arranged randomly. Again, each team will pick 4 maps, either in a row or in a column. The choosing order will be reversed from what is in the first round: the last team to subscribe in fact will be forced the chose the only remaining option, but then they will be the first to pick in the second round, so things are balanced.

Unfair drop avoidance: I'll explain it in details, basically it's no bonus on the first round, but it needs some further specifications.

Each team plays 4 games at the first round and another 4 games at the second one.
If it will take too long there will be a Christmas / New Year break, in case of someone's vacations.
Subscribe by declaring who's your teammate and which row or column you want to play.

@Tennesseelogman: Row of Column, what do you pick?

There isn't Iberia, sorry. I was still preparing the graph, as first I created the tab using random images.
Now it's fixed, it shows the correct maps.

You and your teammate must pick either a row: #1, #2, #3, #4; or a column: #A, #B, #C, #D.
One of those 8 options. Each one corresponds to 4 maps, as shown in the tab above.

Ok @ttranbar: copy that. .. Here the general rule is "first in first served" like in restaurants. Anyway the others are still looking at the menu, to decide which 'dish' to order,.. So your team is served first. You'll be last in the second round, though!

Yeah, you all are welcome, but I've already replied to Tennessy, there's no Iberia here.
Pick a row or a column, in the map table above, please.
It's a tourney based on special gameplay maps.
