of course? This game is one of the most inconsistent ever made. My question was 100% legit.

The goal is to test a tool, not gameplay settings...

I am so glad to see that this feature (the one i am the most awating for) is coming up...At least its building and fixing is coming up. Can not wait to test it on TM, with 1v1v1v1, teams, pool stages and so on.

In my opinion, this feature is the next BIG step to increase the legitimacy of many many things like :

-team ranking in both SM&TM
-NADEO games as eSports games
-The awesomeness of the game
-Just a reason to open its game every evening

I remember the good old days of maniacups in TMU and this was sooooo awesome. I was really addicted to that like all my teammates. If all the admins of all tournaments could use these features instead of manually admin their cups, with the help of binary Beast and others, this would just bring a new perspective of gaming on SM (and TM i hope)

So : I am really really happy that you (at last!! :)) start to rework on that essential feature.
I wish you good luck and courage.
