It's going to be so heavily skewed towards players that finish their games early in teh life of the league. Those that get the top spots early are going to be nearly impossible to dethrone, and those that get a late start will be stuck at teh bottom for a long time.

Geo, I think your league idea is good as it stands!

It might be difficult for a newbie to climb the rankings, but not impossible. As long as the top players are relatively active, there will be chances for others to defeat them. And just one win in such a game could propel the newbie well up the ladder.

If we start having problems with entrenched players at the top, then perhaps we could go to winning percentage, or change the inactivity rules. But for now, why not go with your original idea, and adjust only if necessary?

Yeah, thatnks for talking me down there Chronon. I kind of lost it for a moment. Well at least let this rinde for a while and see hwo it goes. No sense scraping it at least until we see there is a problem with it.
