Bring Back USA vs The World https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=43402.msg541145#msg541145

USA VS. THE WORLD

Original idea by: Essence   |   Re-Developed by: plastiqe  |   Event Organizer by:

Team USA and Team Rest of the World battle in a Swiss tournament.


1. HOW TO SIGN UP?
You must be a Jr Member (30 posts) or above to sign up for this event.  Start by reading the rules very carefully.  Then sign up by listing your home country on a separate sign up topic.  If you cannot find a sign up topic, or if it is locked, this event is not currently active, and you will have to wait for it to restart.

Two teams will be formed with players from the United States of America on Team USA and players from other countries on Team Rest of the World.  If there are more signups for one team than another, the teams will be shortened to the same amount of players based on order of sign ups or some players will sub in and out or something else.  Each team will then elect a leader.  The organizer will provide each team with a top secret Titanpad Team Headquarters.
(maybe North America vs Rest of World depending on # of players)


2. DECKS
Decks from Team USA may contain only cards from :fire :light :water .  Decks from Team Rest of the World may use only :aether :air :darkness :death :earth :entropy :gravity :life :time and the only quanta source they may use are Quantum Pillars.  Team USA may also use Supernova (because they have nukes) but they may not have an entropy mark.  In addition, during each round further deckbuilding restrictions will be in place similar to event cards in War.
(have some ideas, more apreicated)


3. PLAY
Play will consist of 3? 5? rounds in Swiss tournament format where each player fights a match against a similarly ranked player on the opposing team.  Matches will be best-of-5.  A match win is worth 2 points and each individual game won is worth 1 point.  For the first round, seeding will start based on a mysterious and deliberately unannounced process.  Talking smack during matches is encouraged, especially if you can get a screenshot to post afterwards (preferably with a screenshot of the reply as well.)  There will be a side competition for most creative smacktalking, with no particular prize and judged entirely by the EO. 

It's a good idea to either record the matches, or take screenshots as proof, in case something weird, like a desync error, happens. Remember, a player who gets caught cheating, will be permanently banned from all Elements community PvP events, so please play fair.


5. AFTER DUELS
All players must submit their match results as well as their decklist in the thread for that round of play.


6. WINNER
After the final round, the total score of each player on the team will be added together, and the victor will be the team with the most points.


7. REWARDS
The winning team will receive everlasting glory, the right to mock players on the other team until the next playing of this event and an award icon.  The leader of each/the winning team recieves a unique icon.

This awesome.
Just a question: how big is the percentage of USA player? (rough estimation)

Now now, it might work out that Canada and America are partners in this event.

Last time we did this, is was about 50% American and 50% Everyone Else.

You know, kind of like how all of the important things are on Earth.

Quote from: livestrong.com
Some 59 million American adults were overweight or obese as of January 2011. As of 2009, only Colorado and the District of Columbia can claim populations in which less than 20 percent of the people are obese.

Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/361720-the-increasing-number-of-obese-people-in-america/#ixzz26r7onNf2

Quote from: obesityrates.net/obesity-rates-ranked-by-country

Here are the top 20 worldwide obesity rates ranked by country.  This only takes into account OECD countries.  Obesity in America continues to be a problem.

1)      USA:    30.6 percent
2)      Mexico:    24.2 percent
3)      UK:    23 percent

So yeah, get lots of gold medals from the few people that are interested sports, but let the rest of the country suffer from major health defects.

Italy has 20 regions, which are first-level administrative divisions, just like our states (and district), correct?

Take the number of gold medals and divide them equally between first-level division in each country, so no double standards.

46/51 > 8/20.

So yeah, not a good argument. If you want to argue population, it comes a lot closer in this case.
