Setting the action to the page URL doesn't quite work with default wicket URLs since they pass information in the query string and browsers ignore anything after the '?' in a GET action.
I'd have to set some hidden fields like wicket:bookmarkablePage=[.....] as well as the other fields the page depends on (anything in PageParameters). I haven't pursued this yet, but will. I'm not sure if Form has a way to add arbitrary hidden fields. Another problem with using a WebMarkupContainer instead of a form is that the form children get renamed to 'form:days' and 'form:games' instead of just 'days' and 'games'. I haven't looked into that either. The issue with this is that the params come down as form:days=X&form:games=Y instead of just days=X&games=Y.
