This is related to this thread, but a second poll seems to require a second thread:

I'm thinking the knock out is just like the tournament we just had. and a leauge would be fight who ever when ever. End of the month the most points wins. ? Kinda like mnl? If only we had a scoring system like the mnl. So we could post the wins of the battles. Dfa counter and weight diffrents for more points.

Confirmed, mostly. In the league game, every player plays every other player once, and the game ends when that happens or after a specified amount of time. Again, I'd like to keep things simple, so only victories count. Players bid for game settings in advance.

Sounds good. I think a 2v2 leauge would be great or just a mini tournament. We could draw names out of a hat for the teams. Try this tournament again. 2v2 really takes this game to another level. I belive 2v2 would be fairly even no matter who was paired up with who. Also, dfa's would be more insane and fun.

1v1 is pretty fun but those team games are so much better. More comradery ( spelling)

Also, it would give those players who have never played in a team tournament situation a feel of what it was like back in the good old mplayer days and kail.

I am thinking about giving that 2 vs 2 idea a little twist by rotating teams for each game. That way, you get to play with others, but individual performance would still matter. Thoughts?
