Re: PINBRAWL COMMENTS / SUGGESTION FOR FUTURE

unfortunately, with the time restraints, i highly doubt you will EVER
see pinbrawl as a double-elimination match. if the best teams were
supposed to win the trophys every time, i guess we could have a
triple-elimination match. this is pinbrawl. part of it's lure is that
ANY TEAM CAN WIN TROPHIES. you don't have to be the best team overall
in your division, just the best team at that moment :-)

we'll get 'em next year andy :-D
