Please add Ladders
Hi,
I created this picture to showcase how challonge could offer two separate ways to compete

ladders are great for the long run/ for long seasons. where as brackets are typically for short tournaments.
examples of ladders:

gamebattles.com also has ladders.
I would use gamebattles if they cater more lesser known games.
Have a petition system, if 200 registered players sign a petition you can add a ladder for their game.
to save on hosting forums, have each ladder host their forum externally and just approve them for each ladder.
maybe team up with clansweb.com to helps users create their clan webpages.
Maybe make it easy for popular Games/Developers to recommend challonge to their players.
Create a page where players can be heard to ask their games to make challonge their recommended platform. Assist said game companies help them to integrate an icon in their game client or something to make it convenient for their players to go to the same source to compete at.
Make it convenient with something similar to a press kit, create a 'integrate Challonge into your game' kit.

being able to view and access the ladder via a mobile app would be great as well.

I totally photoshopped gamebattle's ladder in that picture. I just think gamebattles could use competition because they really are not doing to most of their ladders. For most games they have the ladders are deserted.
