If both players want it to count as a PBW league game as well, and they agree to do so up front. They don't have to make it a league game if they don't want to. But you need to agree up front and let a thrid person know so that when it's over there isn't a dispute abotu whether it's supposed to count for the league too.

Yes, I did say that. Do you think that's a bad rule? I wasn't commited to that one, just thought it sounded like a good idea. If somone want's to make a case agaisnt it I will consider it.

Well, certainly a 2-player game would require both participants to be members...otherwise, who would you report?

As to multiplayer, I suppose, for example, an 8-player game could have 3 non-members in it but I think I'd be a bit reluctant to be in a game like that. Also, assuming non-member play is allowed, what does one do when non-PBW League members break rules and affect the results for the member players?

13 league members already. Woo Hoo!

Well, remember Gryph is an "honorary" player and respected map assistant. So, let's call it 12....

I have updated the Game specific rules section of the league rules page. Please let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any suggestions.

Well, I signed up.

I'm not sure about the managing of the whole challenge thing- it seems like the players at the top will be constantly hounded for matches, since a victory against them reaps the greatest incentive and progress.

I guess the deterrent is that someone at the bottom will probably get their glutes kicked by the top players; so it is best to be realistic with whom you challenge.

I'm hoping there is an indicator that is assigned to your profile that displays you as "looking for a match" as opposed to "on hold" ...or the likelihood is there that your mailbox will be constantly flooded with challenges.

If it becomes a problem, or perceived in advance to be a potential problem, a simple rule (like we used to have in a chess ladder I belonged to) could be made that says challenges can't be made over two rungs above you.

Of course, since there doesn't seem to be a formal challenge type thing going on here, maybe it won't be a problem. It's a bit strange as in KOTH, you have no choice. You play who you are matched up against and other than saying you're taking a break, you WILL be playing.

Also, let's consider the guy who is 3rd on the ladder (wants a chance to advance). He's waiting to play the guy who is 1st (who is currently in a game) and also receiving requests from "below" from other people who see him "inactive".
