US State Survivor: Round 5 AND Beyond... Added 20 states remaining...

[posty 2,809]

After double elimination day, there will be 20 states left in five groups...

The remaining rounds will be conducted this way:

• Round 5: eliminate 5 states, down to 15, 3 per group, still 5 groups
• Round 6: eliminate 5 states, down to 10, 2 per group, still 5 groups
• Round 7: eliminate 5 states, down to 5, 1 per group -> combine into the final group
• Round 8: eliminate 1 state, down to 4
• Round 9: eliminate 1 state, down to 3
• Round 10: eliminate 1 state, down to 2
• Round 11: "Winner" determined

The 20 states remaining...

Group A - Arizona, Tennessee, Montana, Alaska
Group B - Florida, Kentucky, Georgia, Wisconsin
Group C - Louisiana, South Carolina, Utah, Nevada
Group D - Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia, New Mexico
Group E - Texas, Maine, North Carolina, West Virginia

I haven't decided on how to proceed, but I am leaning doing it this way...

• Round 5: Single elimination -> 15 states left, 3 per group
• Round 6: Double elimination -> 5 states left, 1 left per group -> Combine into new group
• Round 7: Single elimination -> 4 states left
• Round 8: Single elimination -> 3 states left
• Round 9: Single elimination -> 2 states left
• Round 10: Determine "winner"

Another way:

• Round 5: Single elimination -> 15 states left, 3 per group
• Round 6: Single elimination -> 10 states left, 2 per group -> Combine into new group
• Round 7: Double elimination -> 8 states left
• Round 8: Double elimination -> 6 states left
• Round 9: Double elimination -> 4 states left
• Round 10: Double eliminator -> 2 states left
• Round 11: Determine "winner"

There are other ways that I was thinking about as well, but it might really drag things out...

• Round 7: eliminate 5 states, down to 5, 1 per group -> combine into the final group
• Round 8: eliminate 1 state, down to 4
• Round 9: eliminate 1 state, down to 3
• Round 10: eliminate 1 state, down to 2
• Round 11: "Winner" determined

Thanks...  At least there is a little more discussion that doesn't center around politics...

It would have been so nice if one could enter five poll questions per thread instead of three...  I guess you can't have your cake and Edith too...

Who is Edith ?

Who is taking action on the results ? Or is that as bad as people betting on the Little League World Series?
