Custom leagues
planned

We should eventually be able to set up and find seasons, ladders, and championships for others to join and play in game.
I'm imagining how cool it would be to search for a "league" by region, match times, game options, arena, team size, then pick a team (or random player) and join! Matches or 3- or 5-match sets would nominally be scheduled for a specific day at a specific time, e.g., connection must be made within a ~20-minute window. No-shows lose, and the system could have a reliability / merit score to facilitate joining leagues with more reliable people (leagues could set a cutoff).
This would be best to implement after friend lists, room-code favorites lists (and remembering the the last room code), I think.

I'd like to add the idea of an option to have a casual league (or "club") mode within the league interface, where there aren't points or rank, just an easy in-game way to find and collect like-minded people with similar schedules for fun-only matches. (I have been a part of a sim racing group like this since 2005; it is always about the laughs, no shitty attitudes, and have met many of them irl, hung out gone to events, met their families... life long real friends can come of this stuff if done right.)

Ooh, this would also give the people who play at a high enough level to enjoy PvP KOs a chance to have important games with checking enabled.

Love this idea

Tom Towell: It's a ways off, I wager. Friend lists (with their ranks next to their names) seems pretty key for coordinating in the meantime.
