This is what I expected, as team USSR was on continuously from 6pm to 1am gmt on wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday - 5 days in a row - and not once did team UK accept a match, even during the rare times when enough of them including an officer were online.
There's a word in war for refusing to fight: surrender. Even in a game, it's still called quitting. Team USSR showed up to fight and team UK did not, and that's victory by forfeit.
Thanks team VVS for all the hard work and tactical preparation. You all were amazingly motivated.
Now for a competition that will work. I'm partial to a ladder-type system with 3 or 4 player teams.
