2021 Outrider Cup
2021 Outrider Cup (Outrider Cup II) was the Players Committee biennial Europe versus United States team event on GEMP, November 2021 – 26 January 2022. Team Europe defeated Team USA in a captains' tiebreaker after the 12 regulation games finished 6–6.[1]
On 26 January 2022 Europe's captain Bastian Winkelhaus (Quiet Mining Colony / ISB Operations) defeated USA's captain Joe Olson (Carbon Chamber Testing / Let The Wookiee Win (V)) in that tiebreaker. Team USA had stormed back from a 4–1 deficit to force the extra match. Olson and Justin Desai went 2–0 in their two match-ups; Winkelhaus was the lone 2–0 for Team Europe. Dark Side finished 8–4 across the 12 regulation games.[1]
Jared Napolitano was tournament director, with Bill Kafer and Dan Tartaglione assisting where there was a conflict of interest. Gogolen's 2019 format carried over: six players a side from 2020–2021 Player of the Year points plus captain's picks, and no two teammates on the same objective.
