Suggestion.

Set a time limit to getting a "round" of the league done, let's say a week.

Then in a week, you set it so people are supposed to play 3-5 people.  How they arrange is up to them to work it out with their opponent.

If both players couldn't make it to the allocated time, then consider it a draw.

If only one player that agreed to the time couldn't show up, then the player that did show up gets a free win.

aye, the meet up venue will be the Steam Group Chat Room.

Suggestion for league concerning character selection:

AFter the first (or subsequent matches), the winner of that match must stick to the character, whereas the losing person is allowed to switch.

So say...match 1:

Cammy vs Zangief.  Winner, Cammy.

Now Cammy MUST use Cammy again and the Zangief player can switch if he wants...so say he switches to Blanka.

Cammy vs Blanka.  Winner, Blanka.

Score is now 1-1, and now the Cammy player is allowed to switch but the Blanka isn't allowed to switch.  So on and so forth until game ends.

What do you think?

Regarding the league, is it possible to have videos/replays for each match? I am interested in watching them.

I'm not really liking this. It encourages counter-picking. The Jap system is where the guy sticks to one character for the whole league, and if he changes character, it's considered a new entry in the league (look at momochi's akuma and ryu in the point chart).
edit: I like Shufflez idea of blind character selection.

And?

The winner better be damn well ready to take on counter picks, don't you think? 

Besides, I was just thinking I'd be bored as all hell if I played just the same characters over and over again.  This way I can start out with weaker characters and move on up to my stronger ones.

How about lag spikes? Played one round and a lost of connection? You know streamyx...

Two characters whole season sound good actually.

Are we banning anyone?  And by anyone I mean Seth.

^ My suggestion was based on arcade format play.  The loser gets to "continue" and select again.

I feel like I'm the only one still going to arcades.  So empty nowadays, at least for fighting games.

Seriously, anyone banned?

regarding the SF4 league, what about button mapping?

OR lower your handicap everytime you win

wanna ask, the league thingie have to battle everyday?

anyway Shufflerz UGPM

so basically when the league starts we fight everyone in the league and be back with the results oh?

I wanna play in league too.

But when does it start?

How much time I gotta commit to that?

shouldnt we limit the number of people in the league
else it takes forever to finish

Does it actually slow down the game? Saw some guy post in your source
