Glad to hear from you again jade!

If I go down the path I am thinking, I don't really want to leave the capacity to manually enter a fight, as it sort of contradicts the schedule, and the random behaviour of life in general.
I would be in the camp of those who want the option to manually schedule. While your points make sense, some of us would like this program to run the 'nuts and bolts' of a universe, to schedule 90% of the fights, and 100% of the fights that we don't care about; but we would like more manual control at the top of divisions, to fix some of the things we think are wrong with real life in terms of who gets a shot, etc..

By restricting it too much, you are forcing everyone to go with your assumptions of what should be, etc..

- Figured out how to adjust the ranking criteria on the fly ie. Maybe in your universe you want 50 fighters ranked, whereas I may want just ten.
What about how fighters are ranked - I'm thinking of the algorithm itself. Can you explain it, and also, will we be able to tweak it if we have different ideas of how fighters should be ranked?

Really can't wait for this, thanks for the hard work! But I do think giving the individual the ability to tweak things to his own needs/likings and have the ability to override where he necessary is important.
