Looks likely that discussions between jscoble and I might result in a team after all...

Which would mean Abbaddon would not be playing?

Also, what's the official end results for the game rules? Anything drastic changing?

One thing to consider for remapping:
Do you want both team-mates equally distant from respective nearest enemies and one enemy (from different teams) for each teammate = all player HWs roughly in a circle, with allies closer than enemies?
Or do you want a slightly smaller circle comprising one member of each team, and their partner more distant from the centre(like spokes on a hub), such that one team-mate is closer to two enemies than the other team-mate? If the latter is chosen, you might specify which partner is on the outside.
