Second, I know last season there was talk of changing the scoring system, but honestly I like it the way it is. I think it promotes aggressive fighting, which any good Triumviteer would want! There was talk about how the points aren't that largely different if the score is, say, 60-59, because the winner would get 61 points while the loser 59. But I say, good on the loser for making a strong show! Conversely, the winner barely won, so in my mind it's an adequate score. On saying that, if anyone needs a refresher, here is how the scoring goes:

If you win a battle you get 60 points plus how much of a percentage you won by. Losers get how many casualties they inflicted. Ties get only the points they earned (so try to win!)

For example: In the 1st battle, Team 1 player A beats player D 61-36, and in the 2nd battle player C wins against player B 40-15.

Team 1 - 1st battle 60 + 25 = 85 points 2nd battle 15 points total for both battles = 100 points
Team 2 - 1st battle 36 points 2nd battle 60 + 25 = 85 points total for both battles = 96 points

There are 8 groups of 2 starting the tournament, but after every round (except the 1st) the 2 groups with the lowest total points from the battle will be deemed unworthy of promotion and released from duty (knocked out of tournament)!
So, you have to work together (at least in theory) with your partner a bit. Decide who wants to be which side, ask for advice, be discreet and just fight, scream about rng rolls; however you and your partner want to go about it!

I think there's a typo in the total points for Team 2: 36+85 = 121
