    Time to give RD a kick in the butt.
    Well, this idea was brought up in 4.11.1 Feasible seeding tournament using pooling

    The idea was to start this using the results from the World Cup '10.


    The big question on my mind is how to get all the participating communities to "ratify" such a ladder system.
    Would we need a separate pen spinning body to overlook interboard affairs?

    you need some sort of highly reputable known figure to promote your system with lots of contacts, for instance crash. he's talking about doing this for a while now, but we dont have a solid system to offer yet.

    We could base it off of the sort of system most North American teams use

    Each community could be its own team, and in order to participate in the WC/WT, they have to be in the Board Ladder. Essentially, the Board Ladder acts as a central body.

    There wouldn't be a schedule though :/
    I think it should be free challenge, although you must have stuff like

    minimium of x battles
    can't challenge another community more than x times (to avoid stat-packing)
    etc.

    Edit: Can we get crash to visit this thread?

    I've been mulling over this, and I came up with a list of issues to be addressed: (feel free to add to this list)

    comissioner
    managers/teams
    lineups
    battles
    schedule oriented things (not an official schedule, but like must battle x times a year)
    spinners
    videos
    judges/judging
    cheating

    Finally got the time to update this

    Comissioner: The person who is in charge of running the league. (Contacting others) Preferably someone high up there in the PS world.
    Managers: Can be a spinner on a team, in charge of determining and submitting lineups for a battle.
    Teams: Consist of four people at any one given time (two singles and 1 doubles battle). All members on the team must identify with the board they are battling for.
    lineups: At the time of the battle, managers will *select* 4 people from the board to film for the battle. (no backups necessary, no need for standing teams either)
    battles: between two teams, two single battles and 1 double battles.
    scheduling: ??? I think 1 week to reply to a challenge, 1 week to determine a lineup, 2 weeks for filming, 1 week for judging
    spinners: must identify with the board they are from
    videos: may not be pre-filmed. 10-25 seconds long
    judges: one from every board. for a battle, randomly select 5 (?) judges (must not be from any boards that are battling)
    judging: iono, make a standardized scoresheet

    what else am i missing?
