I don't see SSSN and JNPR meeting in doubles. Seems a little early for them to go out. Considrimg the opening shows JNPR, RWBY, SSSN, and Cinders trio, it kind of makes me feel the final four will be members from each team. Pyrrha vs Mercury, Yang vs Sun, and the final Yang vs Mercury. Cinder's plan maybe starts during the final match. I figured it would make sense; a JNPR/SSSN fight would be hella fanservice, and not only would it allow the JNPR story to progress but it would (assuming JNPR take the win) also give Sun some free time to spend with Blake leading perfectly into the character arc involving Adam.

I don't think we have time for another two doubles matches unless one or both of them are completely short changed. I think it right that we see 3 team matches and 3 doubles matches.

When the match was brought up, I also thought it might not be a bad idea. I am simply expecting the four to make the final four. However, as you note, losing to JNPR would allow Blake and Sun to expand the White Fang/Adam plot. My question is how much longer is Volume 3, and how many plot lines can it nicely cover with the time remaining? That's why I see a final four between SSSN, JNPR, RWBY, and Cinder. I'm thinking under the idea they have a 12-15 episode season like volume 2 had. So how do they, in 6 or a little more chapters do they juggle the tournament, White Fang, and Cinder unless some part is rushed, or we get a cliff hanger and the actual conflict isn't 100% over in the finale.

But like you say, if both teams win, we would likely only see one match and either one is short, or is off panel. So I can see why SSSN vs JNPR would be a preferred occurrence. Well last season the JNPR story began at episode 5, which appears to be happening again. I would say that some kind of evil reveal is due in episode 7, be that Adam, Neo or any of the others. After this, the rest of the season would be RWBY&Co looking into the leads while balancing the tournament. We get a world of remnant every 3 episodes don't we? Making next week a world of remnant and then a final one after episode 9; hopefully leading to a 3 part finale.
