Tourney: London Open 2012 - August 25th and 26th

Either game length, or unlimited goals should be used to further differentiate teams, Podium uses neither and is therefore marginally less accurate/useful than it could be.

Unlimited goals isn't the problem here: I hate it when I see a team beaten by 5 goals to 3 (or 4) with plenty of time left on the clock, we assume too early that we know who the winner of the game is because of a relic from throw-ins.

I completely agree, but the same can be achieved with an appropriate goal limit for the time. For the top teams, I'd say 5 goals is fine, it was rarely met (obviously that's not the case for teams of different ability).

Game length is interesting, but again with Swiss, i feel that could bias it to a team that got a really easy first round game.

Again, I think MB would solve a lot of the issues, and I'm hoping it's something Podium will offer soon. It's one area where Challonge does it better, but there are so many other things Podium does better.
