With the successful start to the tenth edition, it's time for the Initech series to turn a new page. The eleventh tournament will be the first Initech to utilize team games. I present to you: Initech XI: Interstate x2
Like all Initechs, this one will be sequential, flat rate, chained and foggy. All other relevant details are below. When you sign up, please use one post to indicate you and your teammate (no need for both players to post). If you have any other questions, please pass them along.
OVERVIEW 12-team, 2-round, 7-map, 35 game tournament. Each team is guaranteed 7 games. Max number of games for any team is 14.
ELIGIBLE PLAYERS Premium only, sorry. You'll need more than 4 games open at all times.
RULES All games will be Doubles, Sequential, Chained, Flat Rate, Foggy
MAPS The same 7 maps will be used in all rounds: USA + the USA Interstate pack of 6 maps
ROUNDS The first round will consist of four 3-team groups. Each group will play 7 games on the 7 listed maps. The team with the most wins in each group advances to the finals.
The final round will consist of one 4-team group. The same 7 maps will be repeated once each. The team with the most wins is tournament champion.
SEEDINGS There will be no seeds. The draw will be totally random.
TIEBREAKERS In the event of a tie for the group lead in the first round, the tiebreaker will be a head-to-head game on the USA map using tournament settings.
In the event of a tie for the group lead in the final round, the first tiebreaker will be most wins in the first round. If still tied, the second tiebreaker will be a game on the USA map using tournament settings.

I've got you as having 3 out of 6, with Great Lakes still pending. It might be in the bag for you, but without seeing through the fog, I can't be certain!
Scoreboard updated. Two groups decided. Group 3 will need a tiebreaker if Frito Bandito & therev1957 win the Great Lakes game. Group 1 is a bit behind.
HighlanderAttack & shoop76 won a competitive final group, scoring victories on 3 of the 7 maps played. After each team scored one victory a piece, ViperOverLord & jester1974 pulled ahead with their second win. But the championship was not in the cards, as HighlanderAttack & shoop76 tied them up and then won the clinching victory on the Great Lakes USA map. With that victory, HighlanderAttack & shoop76 became champions of the first ever doubles tournament in the Initech series
HighlanderAttack & shoop76 concluded the 35-game, 2-round, 7-map tournament with the following statistics: 14 games played, 7 map wins. The complete stats for the Final Group participants:
