Shadowmere> In my opinion this would only work for KILL RACE type of Elim games.

For death x games, it would become an issue how to determine the deaths given to the late entry.

There are a few choices:

1) Average death of players - Would be abused by players who would find the "optimal" time to get in. Most likely when the best player in game has more deaths than most.

2) ~20 seconds after round starts. The same issue would arise as now, players would like the late entry capability to be longer. And everyone would just use this to skip the chance of dying anyway.

3) Not add late entry to death x games at all.
