pre-match tabs

[DreadKnight]

I'm trying to figure out the best way of organizing the pre-match screen menu along with all it's options.

The pre-match configuration screen could have 4 tabs:

• players (default) will allow choosing the game mode (1vs1 or 2vs2); various set-ups hotseat or online play (input modes, bots, ranked or boss fights); can disable tabs or change settings; It might be a good idea for this tab to remember last settings via html5 localStorage.
• settings current stuff except players and location eventually it could enable/disable various input devices
• gambling (bitcoin) disabled or predefined values; it will need to make sure all the players have the required btc; if enabled, could also have a scheduled date while allowing watchers to bet as well by the time the match starts; could provide link for visitors spectate and gamble; content of this tab will be disabled when creating distribution packages for game markets that don't allow any currency gambling via their terms of service (ToS); the tab itself will show up and provide an explanation inside about this
• locations (thumbnails)

The Monthly Tournament and Kingdom Wars game modes won't require the pre-match screen.
