Your Fourth Death Match is Power Down.

In this Death Match you must attempt to claim as much of the board as possible by having squares with lower power.

Each turn, players will simultaneously submit 2 sets of 2 coordinates.

The coordinates submitted will create 2 areas for them to claim.

For example, a submission of A1, C3 and D7, D11 would give the player a 3x3 area, and a 1x5 area.

The way to take a claim from the opponent is to have a lower power on that square.

Each square has a hidden power level.

This power level is decided on the most recent claim on that square.

for example, a claim on A1, C3 being a 3x3 box would give each square in that region a power of 9

Because players submit at the same time, if there is any overlap on claims that round, the lower power claim will be the one put on the board.

If the simultaneous claims are of the same power, those squares will be left unclaimed.

This game will last through 3 different 11x11 boards, each having 4 turns.

Where your score for this game is the number of cells you had claimed at the end of a board.

The player with the highest cumulative score will be the winner of the Death Match and stay alive in the game.

The player with the lower score will be the loser of the Death Match, and will be eliminated from SMG: How to Adapt
