New Game Type Option

Description
I propose a new option called Challenge...and forgive me if this has been brought forward before.

Specifics
The player creating the game can set it up as a challenge with all available maps and settings, but can adjust the points that can be taken by the winner. Further, the game can be created as a series with an option for a best of _ , or race to _ and a point limit for loss of the series or race.

For Example, if I start a triples challenge game with my partners....best of 7 on Classic, flat , chained, sunny with a zero point loss...the winner of the series receives no points, however if its a grudge match where a specific opponent or team is being called out the max point loss is set to 100 points per game...you are risking 400 points.

To reduce the chances of abuse, each challenge game would be posted with all players and options in a subsection of Callouts, and can only be started when a third party (someone who has demonstrated trust and integrity such as board moderators or tournament organizers) reviews the game and gives it the green light.

Or make it available only in Tournament Options.

yeah, way too complicated, just start a game, and wait for it to fill. (Sorry, usually don't read it unless it's in the form)

There was an idea put forward about a challenge type of thing a few moths ago that IIRC sounded much better, shouldn't be hard to find if you try.

And the part about variable points has been suggested before, rejected every time IIRC as the admins (understandably) doesn't want more than one system.
