yup thats the way it is for a single network co-ordinator game.

HOWEVER consider this setup,

            Coordinator League A           Coordinator League B
                     |                                |
        |------------|------------|      |------------|-------------|
      BBS1          BBS2         BBS3   BBS1         BBS2          BBS3

under existing setups League A cannot exchange packets with League B thus
the 2 separate networks are just that separate, under the ibbs rewrite
the above then becomes.....

            Coordinator League A            
                     |-------------------------------|
                     |                      Coordinator League B         
         |-----------|------------|     |------------|-------------|       
           BBS1        BBS2         BBS3  BBS1         BBS2          BBS3

so as you can see all the games become linked to League A

cheers Dennis
