The Two's a /co/mpany Tournament 2021 is the third edition of the all-genders /co/ duos competition, hosted on the plus4chan imageboard similar to the prior year's tournament but there were multiple attempts to host the tourney on the /co/ board. TagTeamAnon !iho9VEaVKs was unable to host this tournament due to quote "both school and work buttfucking [him] in terms of scheduling" and similar to Stats anon !!rkK6EtYmPFl dissapearance (or presumably his death) when the scheduled tourney date arrived, confusion was made regarding who would be hosting the tourney and if the tourney would even happen. This confusion was bolstered by [Temp Anon] !vHqM1sfAlM starting the nominations thread in plus4chan's /tnt/ board straight after King /v/ 2021 without an annoucement, timer, spreadsheet or even a tripcode at the time. Some semblance of organization was brought when fern avatarfag !ma9qovM58k stepped up to make a spreadsheet cataloging all the nominated teams.

This year saw the addition of the A.H Rule that establishes whose eligible from the online genre of "analog horror" due to /co/ allowing analog horror threads. Questions came up about the eligiblability of characters from said genre during the nominations, it was decided characters from "analog horror" are only allowed if they are explicitly drawn, painted or animated and are presented as such.

Though nominations began December 6th 16:56 EST, the nominations were stretch over a few days due to the tournament having no announcement and thus low participation, nominations ended December 10th, 8:00 EST and in those 4 days gathered over 270+ nominees. Although nominations ended on the 10th there was a grace period to allow campaigning and set up the polls for the first time hosts. During this time fern avatarfag !ma9qovM58k officially left work on the tournament, leaving sole hosting work to [Temp Anon] !vHqM1sfAlM. Qualifiers officially began on December 10th, 10:00 EST, an hour behind schedule. Under [Temp Anon] !vHqM1sfAlM the tourney was woefully mismanaged with it taking days for the qualifier results to be released along with a lack of communication. Due to this Dominos Anon !w86bRI0tYM stepped in to create the round 1 poll along with new hosts Numnuts Anon !0f1ZB4Rf. This was not the end of problems with the hosts though.

As a consolation prize, a few days after the tournament, a hunger games simulator with every team was held on plus4chan. Team "Pathetic" with Hal Jordan (DC) and Ben 10 (Ben 10) being the winner.

Note: Tag-Team Tournament 2021 does not have any formal list of contestants, bracket, or character plates and have made no indication that there will be any made.

Rigging and Aftermath

Rigging was a huge problem in this tourney. In the qualifiers, several votes were given that only listed Pumpkinheads. In the quarterfinals after the results were posted, somehow votes changed after 7pm. This lead to arguments over whether The OGs won or Demonic Hosts won. It was eventually decided The OGs would move on. That wasn't the end of things however. It was eventually revealed through Numnuts Anon !0f1ZB4Rf that Dominos Anon !w86bRI0tYM was Alastorposter. This lead to Dominos Anon !w86bRI0tYM revealing that Numnuts Anon !0f1ZB4Rf was both Chrisposter and Tourneyanon, who had a past of disputes and mismanaging tournaments. This lead to Numnuts Anon !0f1ZB4Rf breaking down and admitting that he rigged all of the Elite Eight besides Cognito who he tried to actually rig out. Of these confessions, one that stood out among anons was the fact he rigged out Three (Minus 1) Caballeros to get a reaction. Many questioned the extent of these claims though, believing this was mostly a fit to sabotage the tournament near its end.

Following this [Temp Anon] !vHqM1sfAlM took charge again to mixed reactions. While Temp was able to technically finish the tournament, it was once again largely mismanaged. The final round's results were initially posted as a draw between Explosivas and Cognito, giving Explosivas the victory by seed. Temp claimed Cognito was the victor by alphabetical order though. Temp eventually deleted the thread and reposted the results with Explosivas as the victor, yet the results had bizarrely changed with Cognito having what was assumed a switched vote after the time limit. Temp once again deleted the thread and reposted it with Cognito as the victor once more. During probing about the voting anomaly Temp posted a screenshot of his computer time, showing it was not only ahead by a few minutes from others, but that he was using the long outdated Windows XP, which may in part have explained Temp's sluggish pacing and handling of the event. In all, the issues and controversies, added with lower activity than last year (particularly much less RP) left many unsatisfied, and regarding Tag-team Tournament 2021 as the worst /co/ tournament yet.
