That looks workable,

So just an idea from to other side of the atlantic ocean: why make more than 1x1 games??
I think it would be the best thing to find out who's best in a 1x1 games.

Make some standaards maps, so everyone has thesame starting position, with equel colonizable planets .
Like a chess game; everyone is starting with the same position and the same pices, only the strategy will determine who will be the winner.

And using the system of lazarus..(sorry i forgot)
you get more point if you win from a stronger/higher placed opponent.
But I think it also wise to put some restriction to that, because otherwise the top player will be challenged too often by "newbies" (because you can score more if you win.) So probaly something tesco said about only challenging the 4-5 below and above you.
In this case the top player will not be challenged by newbies (and newbies cannot be playing against to experienced players)
And also in this case every game is up to your skills, because you will be playing games against players who have a comparising amount of points, eq the same experience.
