For PBEM as long as you order the players based on windows of opportunity, you can get a turn done in 24HRs. This works with six or less players.

Right, but I still think that sadly it might not be for me. I can all but guarantee I'll have a window of opportunity once during a Pitboss turn, even if traveling, busy at work, etc. But I may not have a guaranteed window during the same time each day. I think PBEM works great for people that know they can play between, say, 2:00-4:00pm each day, but works much worse for people with more random schedules.

I don't think people are interested in a team game. Pity, but can't really force people to play in these games

Is pitboss not good for this style of game?

Part of the reason PBEM would be better is that the No score mod would be a useful addition to this game, and pitboss is awful for using mods.

Why's that pal?
I thought only real difference was potentially slower pace in PBEM and no arguments about double moves. I can see Sunrise's PoV in regards to when you can play also.
