I hear you, Geo. Ideas? Just stuff off the cuff (sorry for the rhyme). Same 4 players? Possibly. That's why I suggested that people could enter both the K-Fast and K-Slow. As it is, there are 29 players in KOTH. I wouldn't consider that a lot looking at all the forum members. So, potentially, that could be a problem.

Or, just run one KOTH league at 36-hour TA. If you can't keep up, don't enter.

I could be wrong...like THAT ever happens, but it seems to me the "regulars" are the participants. People who have been playing a long time and who are looking for a different kind of game (and the resulting challenge). It may be that a lot of "casual" PBW players are intimidated. I dunno. Personally, I like the challenge.

BUT, for whomever has the desire to try and make it work, they will have to compete with your ladder/league thingie. The sort of people who enter these kinds of things only have so much time to participate. I suspect they would choose what is popular and that could possibly mean "where you go, the players go". (leaving whoever tried to keep KOTH going with a dwindling audience).
