@Mac: No more than 2 at a time. I could do 1 at a time, but that would be a bit slow for qualifiers. When we get in the league, we can slow down to 1 for sure and I won't mind.
I wouldnt randomize the teams for the groups, but rather set them into categories.
for instance :
category A excellent teams
hhh und timi
unknown and ribena
grinche and ruthless bastard
etc.
category B good teams
reza and hedja
etc.
then split them into the groups randomize. one of A, one of B, one of C etc.
also, in the end each League shouldnt have more than 5 to 6 teams max. otherwise it will A. take too long. B. make people lose interest because it takes too long.
If I can find an excellent partner, then I will join :)
Preferably someone I know, and I can play well with, not someone I have to yell at for them to play well.
