Suggestions/Questions [edit]:

Surrender IS allowed but only in 1 vs 1 games (what's the harm, right?)

In a one on one game surrender ends the game, so it doesn't really matter if you say you allow it or not at that point.

Should standard game settings be established in the event the players (team or otherwise) can't agree on settings?

We needed that for KOTH, but it's not neccesary for this becuase if they can't agree they can always walk away and join another game.

Should there be an arbitrator or panel of arbitrators to settle problems and disagreements?

For now that will be me as league admin. Eventually if this takes off I will get some volunteers to help me as league admins.

Should any penalties be specified for anyone breaking the rules?

Not too many rules to be broken, but we can always kick someone out of the league if they do.

Should there be a standard turnaround time specified?

I think this is well covered by the game settings which all players need to agree to when joining and stick to.

Does one start a game with someone (or some team)? Invitation? Challenge? What if someone refuses the challenge? What if, say, #2 on the ladder continually refuses to play (saying he's busy with too many other games or something...which could be legitimate)?

There are rules for that in the standard MyLeague setups. I think most of those will carry over well. I will remove what doesn't. Eventually the special rules for top ten players will apply, but until the rankings get fleshed out some I don't think we need to worry about that too much.
