I may be "sonservativ" but i don't think 50% of 0 IS 10...

I don't think ppl will go after this. You hardly could fill up ordinary tournaments, which had no entry fees...

However, you can give it a first go via challonge or some other tournament system outside faf and see how it goes. Yes, you'd have handle that all yourself and watch players to obey rules and so on. But you need the reports before FAF team could consider making this.
Currently we won't do anything not planned.

Challenges are actually planned for the next version. They'll be the first implementation of the tournament system (imagine them as a tiny tournament with just 2 players that launches as soon as everyone's registered)

They will be ladder1v1 games like any others (trueskill prevents "abuse" and actually encourages repeatedly playing anyone you wish).

Tournament / Game / Challenge Invites will be for online players only at the time being. We'll see about persistent / multi-day challenges later, but it's a good idea and thanks for bringing that up.

I don't think we need complex rules, though. I want challenges to be very easy to arrange, just rightclick a name, and they get an invite to an ad-hoc mini tournament that was created in your name.

That way, we can get a lot of the initial tournament code tested as well.
