2 v 2 cancels

Despite this, we haven't had troubles with people declining our games - but this conversation does highlight an issue that needs to be addressed: 2v2 FTA.

Ideally - whether your team goes first or second should have no bearing on the outcome of a match. The simplest solution would be to award less starting wits to the players that go first in a 2v2 match - but deciding what those starting numbers are will be a lot trickier than fixing the 1v1 FTA.
Perhaps something like:
1P - 5
2P - 6
3P - 6
4P - 8

I literally just made those numbers up - so I wouldn't be surprised if they're off. What does everyone else think about this?

EDIT: I forgot to answer the actual question of the thread! No - teams should not be penalized for declining games.

Disagree. Don't feel it.
