There's Scorched Earth, then there's OP's scenario, which would be like Heat Death of the Universe or so...

Beats our record of 4 declines on Curie 2013. Anyone ever seen more than 5 declines?

Was this supposed to be a friendly event????

IT nearly happened in the 2006 Newton division where 176 was top seed and started picking every team in the top 8 who then one after the other said no to them til 111 accepted their invitation. They made it all the way to the divison finals.
What struck me was I heard many people label 176 jerks for doing that but it would be perfectly ok to say no to them.
