Play Format

[Shad]

Relevant bits of Alan's post from the old thread:

To answer your original questions:

- Elimination is the quickest and simplest to manage, but less satisfying to all players.
- Tournament if you go with a ladder style that could be used for longer term to handicapping future play.
- Match will take the longest and require multiple plays which may become dull.
- Prizes, Prizes, we don't need no stinking prizes we are hard-core PG'ers
Come up with what you want, but I would guess that a free game from APL is out.
Forgot about Vassal, what has been people's experience with it lately? The past few games I have played or viewed had many problems with slowness and crashes. Not sure what it is, probably a Java compatibility issue. Playing by Skype is not bad for something like this. I agree with Tony about keeping them to smallish sessions.
