It seems like PGI is doing it on purpose to put limitation on the matchmaking. If teams had a way to match with other teams you would see 3rd party leagues poping up made and run by players outside of PGI control, i dont think they want that, because whatever kind of online league players come up with it will be alot better then there own(whenever that will hapen) Also they wont be able to charge you for it! They'll probably impose an MC cost to join a faction or put a clan tag beside your name, or a certain amount of MC per month if you want to play in there league.

Ignoring the last sentence I think that could actually be the close to the truth.

They'll never flourish if theres no way for teams to match vs each other. Not alot of people are willing to go trough the trial and error of the current match making system to find a specific oponent.

It might be, but I don't see any reason (from business perspective) for them doing so. Then again, I don't see any reason for them doing balancing the way they do it, so what do I know...

Think of it this way: You see Community Warfare as the most important part of your game, therefor you want as much people as possible to play Community Warfare. But you also know that your IP is rather obscure when compared to AAA titles, your playerbase wont be that big. Organized games between two or more groups would take people away from Community Warfare - sure, you could add the results of their games to Community Warfare, but that opens the door for possible abuse. So those groups will have to drop random against other groups - same as it is right now.

a) Allow custom matches between merc groups A and B

b ) Export the result of said match to an xml, or write one yourself

c) Modify Mekwars to be able to read and interpret said xml

d) Use Mekwars to to run the strategic map, solaris leagues and matchmaking

e) ???

f) Profit!

Have to disagree with you here - first, organized matches take time to schedule and people would want to play other kinds of matches in between. Solaris-style tournaments can easily co-exist with planetary league. Second, PGI can simply turn organized matches into a c-bill sink (i.e. no xp/c-bill rewards, plus an entry fee required for each drop), thus forcing players to play other matches in order to finance their tournament participation.
