many options can be added to enhance leagues, but leagues are mathematically tricky and creating a balanced calendar is NOT an easy task.
There are many factors you have to take into account: 1. Every player MUST plat the same number of games. Thus you cannot start an 8 players league with 3 players per game and say: play 5 games each. You'll have to create 40 places in which put every player 5 times... but 40 cannot divided by 3
2. Every player should meet the others the same number of time. And this can be achived only with fixed number of games. Suppose there is a player that is very poor (i.e. playing like a fool) and suppose I meet him 3 times and you meet him only 2 times. I have a bonus win on you and that is not good.
3. For Blue Max (and eventually WS&IM, when it will be ready) there are factions. The league system should guarantee you that you have the same number of time every other player as a friend and as an enemy.
4. For Blue Max not all pieces have the same strength. So every player MUST use the same plane the same number of time.
All this bring you to a vary limited number of possibility. That's why we have those strange number of games played for each league.
Belive me, developing this part was verrrry tricky and, of course, very funny.
For now we are working on Cartagena and Blue Max to allow you to play it in leagues, then we'll start adding options... this is the way we work.
