I could have a champions box. 1st to Quarters for each of the four sections and so on that are really easy to take and can attack the other three Quarters. I'd like that a lot more then a straight up teleport... A LOT MORE. I'll try it out.

One question about the champion boxes. I'm assuming each champions box borders each other, but which quarters border which champions boxes? (i.e. does Q1 blue border champion B?)

Whoops, they don't border each other. New version coming.
Q1 Blue and Q2 Blue one way attack Champion B
Champion B then one way attacks Q1-Q2 of the other 3 colors.

Tried to make it clearer that the Champions do not border each other.

It was subtle. The Champion Boxes are no longer touching, and the title box is no longer a box, it is just text with a glow effect at the same level as the Entry/Advancer/ect... headers.

Excellent updates.
1) Change Entry to Entrant - it's the only one where it feels like there's extra white space
2) Change Champions names to be shorter - the boxes totally dwarf the other ones
Champ B, Champ G, Champ P, Champ R.
a) I assume "Champ Boxes" is NOT a territory - change the background color so it's doesn't look like a territory
b) The background color is too close to R/L. I think R/L should have the golden tint that you put in Champ boxes. Maybe make the Champ boxes beige or peach/coral?
c) Change the Champ wording to something like [Champ Box may attack Quarter boxes of other colors]
3) Move R/L up/down enough to comfortably be able to widen them - Conquer R, Conquer L
4) left align "Idea from: bspride" with the legend [so it's right above "Bonuses"] - I added in the colon to be consistent with the map by:
EDIT: Fast-Edited for 2a *lol*

All good ideas, and I already did one of them with Version 8.

Actually... I'm confused by why you think I should change R & L to Conquer R and Conquer L...

I should have said Final L and Final R
At least make these boxes bigger so they seem more like the win scenario [i.e. more important]. The Champ boxes (on first glance) look like they are REALLY important.

Looking good so far.
Might want to move Final R/L up/down a couple more pixels (they are the only ones that overhang other boxes) to give a little less crowding.
Might want to move entire Champions Box area up a couple of pixels

This is coming together nicely now. The only thing I have to say is maybe make the spaces in between the champions boxes more distinct, and change their color back to version 8. That looked a lot nicer.

I agree, I liked the bronze too.
I could make it a new poll maybe.
