Is it possible in a future version to add the option to select a different method for calculating ladder rankings? Most of the ladders I run either use a slide and swap method (if the challenging team, which must be lower ranked, wins then they take the place of the defending team who them slide down one place on the ladder) or a straight win/loss calculation which works well for leagues.

1. What else is in the pipeline for this great mod?
2. Is there a demo?
3. Where can I manage this mod (creating ladders and such)? I only found the general options for this mod (Settings -> Options).
