In all cases when viewing the DuelCTFGame from the UT2004 Browser you would see
the game as 2/2 indicating that it is a DuelCTFGame which could deter a player from joining by not
realising it is a rotational game and he needs to join to take a position in the rotation.
Setting this switch On will now display the total Players + the total Spectators out
of the Maximum Players (2) + the Maximum Spectators.
So if your server was set for 12 Spectators and currently there are 2 players and
6 spectators on the server, the Browser would now indicate 8/14 and would encourage players to join.

If set to On then all spectator and player messages would be written to your server log.

When the game ends, the Red spectator will receive a Menu popup asking him to select a map to player the winner.
The looser of the match will on the next level be placed at the end of the que.
And so the rotation continues.
Should there be no Spectators, the looser will get the next Map choice.
