1. Losing a single game send you to the bottom of the hill. A bit harsh? Certainly no fun.
Perhaps fall back only 1 level?

Quote:
2. Only works for two player games. Not everybody likes two player games. Not everybody does well at two player games.
With the number of people in the league, I don't see this as a problem. The 2 player experience is indeed different, but is also quite enjoyable IMHO.

Quote:
3. You are in many ways at the mercy of your opponent. If you are playing a guy that is slow with the turns, what can you do? Not much. Complain to me, that's about it. If you and your opponent can't agree on settings, you can't just go play someone else who does like your sort of game. You have to play who I match you against, or one of you forfeits. That kind of sucks.
Yeah, and the only work around that I see is that players who enter the league have to realize that compromise is expected and appreciated. Either that or come up with hard set KOTH settings for all games.

4. The league page is tedious to maintain, and therefore is frequently out of date. Mea Culpa.
I would be happy to help with administration tasks.

Quote:
5. You can't play more than one official game at a time. Some people don't like that I am sure.
Kind of the nature of the beast. Again, if you want to join the league, you accept this.

Just my thoughts.
