Rated Arena Battles

Well after discussing some chunk stuff with some people on the bukkit forums, turns out the best way for multiple arenas is actually on the same world as when the server is loaded, I literally do watch each world's spawn area generated into memory.
But spectate shouldn't be too hard, really. I just add spectators to the list of people warped to an arena and make spectator stands or give them invisibility for the duration of the match; perhaps flight, even. Low on the priority list though.

Perhaps we could have...
Team matches?
2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5, more maps (I possess the ideas), more everything.

I'd be glad to help build maps if help is needed.

Hey hey, it's still a very good map design. For 5v5.
(Such a good design that it has been used in 1001 clone games)

I have no idea what the problem with the lag is. All I talked to them about was how to run multiple instances of arenas. Right now there's only one running, so the question becomes how much worse will/won't the lag be with multiple running arenas. I haven't personally gotten any at all. I've seen memrme lag out once, but that's all. Is everybody getting it? Is the lag constant? Is it at the beginning of the match? The whole way through?
As for schematics; they should equal roughly the size of the current arena. Shapes are not a limiting factor; they can be square, rectangular, round. The only requirements will be a piston doorway (which I will convert to the necessary stuff to make it work with the plugin; don't worry about rigging any of the redstone).

Don't hate on D.O.T.A. 
Another strange thing that happened last night, I was fighting someone, they logged before the match started, then logged back in. I suppose it registered them as not in the arena, so once I killed them, it dropped all their items and they just died normally, and I stayed in the arena. So I did /suicide, and the win went to the other player.
I may or may not have resolved some lag issues, but I'd need you guys to run arenas and test them. I found a plugin in which I can keep chunks forever loaded in the server memory. While this sounds bad, it only seemed to add an extra 150mb of RAM (out of 6gb) usage to the server (since the arena world is so small and is mostly air), and, from what I can tell at least, chunks loaded superfast when I warped to the arena.
Of course I'm also testing this on a very good internet connection at work, in the same state as the server, with 0 people on the server but myself; so, please tell me if things have gotten better or worse!
I also threw NoLagg on, cause, why not. Tell me if crap breaks.
