I actually like the current timesettings for ladders, i’ve found them very fast-paced for correspondence games due the lack of weekend pauses. Dropping the max time from 3 days to 1 would prolly cause ton of timeouts (tho there already is a lot of timeouts happening with ladder games)
But something ive always desired is the option for group admins to change the settings for group ladders. Faster settings for those who want to run faster ladders, chinese/AGA/NZ rules for those who prefer it over japanese rules, more/less open games per user etc etc.
I think it would require a lot of coding to make that feature happen, but i feel like it would be worth it. Allowing group owners/admins to adjust those group ladders into something more unique might give those smaller ladders more meaning, and also make groups bit more active than they are now.
