i got the idea from the german quake site pq.de - they do small, not overly serious ql leage for their community:
players get split in different divisions (would do 8-10 players each) and have like 4-5 weeks to play their bo3 matches whenever they like. if it runs well, the best x advance to a higher division and so on...
would anyone (besides me) be interested in doing something like this on esr? only makes sense if we get enough players.
