Bananalive would there be any chance we could get a system for the match finder that would give members a random game to play,So when there is any more then 2 players on a singles ladder looking for games the system would auto match them up.I would be more then happy to Donate any amount needed for your work on this as this mod is becoming a Great!!!

It shows ladder categories. (is that the correct way it works.?)
Yes.

I fully understand Ladders, & Tournaments, but the "Seasons", & "Leagues" are really confusing.
Seasons - allow you to link ladders/leagues together. So if you run the same ladder each month, then you can contain them all in a seasons group. Then the previous ladders are easier to find. Seasons are completely optional.
Leagues are similar to ladders, apart from players/teams cannot choose how they play, instead they are allocated an opponent.
