Carlsen v. Engelberg et. al.

Krysten and Jerrod made a mutual agreement to go see a play together and that neither one of them would inform their team mates to conspire against them. Scott Archer called several people on his team to organize a team meeting. After calling Jerrod, Scott learned that Jerrod was planning on allowing Krysten to out him. Then Scott called Adam Lobb and learned that he was going to attend the same play. Scott informed Adam that Krysten would be there and he should make an attempt to get her out as Jerrod was giving himself up. One must bare in mind all this is happening under the mutual agreement made by Jerrod and Krysten, also that at the time the agreement was made Jerrod obviously had no idea Adam would be there. Also one must bear in mind a single team mate cannot make an agreement for the entire team, mutual agreements are always made directly, never through another party.

So, after, the agreement was made Jerrod may have learned of Adam's plans, but this bears no influence upon the agreement. Needless to say at the play Adam was sucuessful in outting Krysten.

Thus, Krysten is out.

Now, why Krysten was shooting at Jerrod under an agreement raises an interesting question. However, both Jerrod and Krysten have claimed that they made an agreement earlier that day at school.

So, in accordance with the rules, Jerrod remains in the game.


At this point I would like both teams to realize one cannot manipulate the rules for any reason. Even if you believe both teams will benefit, the stated rules are static for each round. The umpire may institute more specific rulings, but everything will be based upon the rules.
