People should be allowed more than one challenge per opponent. I realize this could become problematic in the sense that people could just challenge out of spite, to make their opponents drop but when you have a reset for the top 10 every 4 weeks and a challenge can be avoided for a week - theoretically, you could only do 4 challenges a month and that's not enough for anyone to move up at all.
Perhaps people shouldn't be allowed more challenges but the length should be reduced, to say, three days? My thinking is that if you are going to be on top then you should make yourself available to any challenges within three days, and if you can't then you should request a rank reduction.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
