==Overview==
The goal is to replace the existing /countdown and /gameover type commands with a more unified matching system.

==Current Weaknesses==
The current system suffers from a number of weaknesses, including;
* Requiring everyone to leave the server to reset after a match.
* Little to no user control over who can and can not play.
* No method of reporting matches to the server owner or other authority.
* Inconstancy in command names.
* Does not prevent players from moving or shooting during a match pause.
