    Wouldn't be very nice and new and exciting to have a kind of group tournament.
    You can create a team with 4 other players (so 5 in total) and than play against other teams.

    I think it's realy fun, but maybe the technic behind is very hard or impossible, but I'm not the person to judge that.

    I hope it will come one day!

    I like this idea in principle. The challenge, however, would be to make up teams that would ensure a competitive league. It would be important to distribute the really quick players among several teams, rather than have them all playing for one or two super-strong sides (cf. English Premier League, La Liga)

    I'd be interested to know what others think about this.

    One way to distribute the players while maintaining a competitive game would be to choose team captains who would pick among the players who want to play (flashbacks of high school gym class anyone?)... each week choose different captains who would have the opportunity to choose different teams. Everyone who wants in would be picked, and to avoid hard feelings there is no reason one has reveal the order in which the teams were picked.

    It would be interesting to see if a charming gentleman like BoboLo would turn into a gym class bully once he was placed on a team with some slow loser like Peto (ha ha?).

    lol the gym class analogy is hilarious. I'd definitely be keen to make this happen.

    Excellent idea.

    I'm currently working on the next major revision of the site (last major revision was back in February this year) and being able to play tournaments as a group could be something worthwhile looking into.

    And yes, I also found the high school gym flashback comment hilarious.

    Dear PETO,

    I would be honoured to play on the same team as you! Another idea would be to group teams thematically. For example, I would fall comfortably into a 'Masters' or even 'Veterans' team. We might not win much, but it would be a lot of fun trying!
