<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Most of the games will not require an official challange. They will simply be league games opened on PBW for people to join as they wish. Lower players have more to gain by winning, that is correct. But everyone needs to play or they start to slip down the standings due to inactivity. And reporting a loss costs you nothing in the way of ladder position unless the loss is to the player directly below you on the ladder. And then you only lose one spot.

Once the rankings are fleshed out some the challange rules will take effect for players in the top ten.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Casue that's not how the Mylegaue system works? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Acutally it seems backwards at first, but once you dig into it you realize how smoothly the system works. By having the loser report you avoid the pimple head who joins the laegue and start reporting a bunch of wins for games that never happened. Then the admin has to run around cleaning up after them. Pimpleheads are stupid and wouldn't see a point in reporting a bunch of losses. Even if they did report a bunch of losses a pimplehead is probably going to be unranked none of their loss reports have any effect. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

So, for a one-on-one game, I post a game, say it's a "league" game, specify the settings, and then wait to see who in the league takes it up? Same for a multiplayer league game?

If I'm understanding correctly, would it be easier to start some sort of PBW League Game thread to post invitations or challenges to?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You could do that. There is also a forum on the league page you can use to drum up a match or find players for a league game.

The main thing to remember though is that you can't be the game owner for your games, so don't just create the game yourself on PBW. For a game with several players it might work better if you find someone that's willing to host a game and have them create it on PBW and then you can post something saying "Hey come join this new open league game." or something like that. For one on one games though it would probably work just as well to find your opponent first and then find a game owner.
