Concise description:please note this is meant to be a package for premium members only- There are a series of X games (X of which are ongoing at any one time) with X players
- These games are different maps and settings so in theory there could be a series with all players playing every map on every fortification settings
- The series is displayed as 1 group of games, and shows how many games each player won, each player eliminated (and anything else helpful to TOs)
- Scores are calculated at the end of each game not at the end of series
Specifics:- The auto filling and starting of games
- Allows tournaments to be more easily created allowing groups of games to be easily organized
- Requires players to be able to change the team organization (so Player 1 & 3 vs 2 & 4 game 1, Player 1 & 4 versus 2 & 3 for game 2 (etc))
This will improve the following aspects of the site:- Good for tournament organizers
- Easier to play a group of games with an opponent

Hi Max. The idea sounds intriguing but I think it needs a bit more elaboration. Otherwise there are too many variables to be coded.
Alternatively, you could start by suggesting something simpler that could evolve into a complete Game Series system. For example I can think about a brackets (is it called in that way?) game. You could choose:
- Map
- Rules (if you leave any of them unchosen, they are decided at random)
- Number of players per map
- Phases
Let's say for example, if you choose 4 players and 2 phases, it will look for 16 players, and when all of them have signed, it will automatically create 4 games with 4 players. When all 4 games are finished, then the fifth game is created with the winners and automatically starts.

I think OliverFA's adaptation would be far easier to program, and it would be a step closer to my idea. However in my plan you play a series of games (by no means a bracket) but the idea devolves from something very similar

Hi Max,
Then your idea is more like a league? That would not be very difficult to program either.

Mine is more of a league, then TOs aren't out of a Job,
, but when I say league it means that there could be one game on siege, one game on Circus Maximus etc.

Some years ago I played a game called "Sensible Soccer". It was not an impressive game, but had a feature to create tournaments.
I will try to remember how this feature was, just in case it helps.

I can tell you (and this is all I can tell you) that something similar to this is being worked on.

When you say "like this" what do you mean, my idea of game series or something else

Well, it includes most of your idea (can't tell you what it doesn't though) and a lot mroe (can't tell you that either)
