That's right. The rules will be much clearlier on JJ2WC II..

I already planned a way to choose maps for the next season. We will simply use a system that picks one map for each week\playday untill the finals. (e.g: Week 1 - BBLAIR, Week 2 - Semi, etc..)
[QUOTE=Bobby aka Dizzy]3. Have records posted on the website. The website was not nearly as useful as possible since it didn't have a history of matches and scores/commentary on each match - we should be able to see each match that was played and scores for each map.[/B]
I had too many problems with the website this season... it will be solved on JJ2WC II though.

However, make it clear how to change times if necessary - IE put it in the rules.

I chose the times for this season and let the clans set another date if they can't make it. Actually, it worked perfectly.

Well, if you died on the enemy's base by mistake - we can't do anything. If clans will abuse it, they will recieve warning or something like that.

I was presented on all the match of this season except one\two. SkulL was there, though, and that's of course his job as a co-supervisior.

Double-elimination would be great bigger tournaments with 16 clans or more. We can't get more than 10 clans as far as I know, though, then we have to use a group stage and then single-elimination or just a league with 4-5 matches per week.
