Cobalt Mug Madness Season One
Mug Madness, also known as Mixed-up Mug Madness, is a random-format familiar drinking event developed by Ooriki and Yukinon. The Cobalt Leg of the 2007 Five Ocean Tour was scheduled first, held March 25th through April 2nd. Season One on Cobalt was plagued by three forfeits (due to no-shows) in the first round, and a second forfeit in round two due to a real life emergency. Corathia emerged as as the winner, defeating Hohumdiddly in the final and taking home a blue/gold parrot.

Format
The initial Mug Madness tournament will use eight qualifier tournaments to give away eight entrance ribbons. The holders of the ribbons will compete in the main Mug Madness tournament. The qualifier settings are determined using the random format used in the main tourney, except they remain static after the initial tournament creation and don't change with each game played.
The main tournament features best-of-three rounds, with random formats in each game of the round. The format is determined by creating an unrated, six piece/color game and using the first two non-special pieces after the Chips to decide the number of color/pieces and the game goal. Any specials are chugged until two non-specials are in the tray with the chips. The chips are then placed, and the third piece gives the first mug. In the first game, player one may trade the first mug to player two or they may keep it, but the decision is made without knowing what the second mug is. In game two, this decision is given to player two. If there is a game three, there is no swap option.
1st piece: red/orange = 4 color/piece, yellow/green = 5 color/piece, and blue/purple =6 color/piece.
2nd piece: Red = Board Stained, Orange = 3000, Yellow = 2500, Green = 2000, Blue = 1500, and Purple = 1000.
3rd piece: Bottle = CHALICE, Bumpy Glass = TANKARD, Wavy Glass = FLAGON, Jug = PITCHER, Goblet = GOBLET, Champagne Glass = SKULL MUG, Barrel = HORN, and Hook = STEIN.
