Now... the twist idea I've been toying with lately is actually adding in like 4-6 slots for squads that we'd form by having "volunteer" people draft players. These players would be allowed to double squad, under aliases that are known. IE. The draft would use the players' current rostered names, then they'd announce which name they want to be added on.
This would either work, fail horribly, look like it might work and then produce no shows, kind of work producing games that people don't try much in. We could give some A1 glory to the highest ranked draft squad at the end.
Let me know what your thoughts on something like that would be.

Like everything else the success of this would be dependant on the people who are participating, most importantly the captains of these squads. So #1, don't let just any asshole captain a draft team.
The only reason I see for this to be viable and the reason it could work and even be a success, is if we announce it to the rest of the subspace community to bring in new players, and force the captains to add players who are not rostered on other squads. So #2 - for every game, force these teams to field atleast 2/4 players that are not rostered on other squads, preferably newbies but since you can't police that simply people who has no current squad. I'd also suggest extending the roster deadline for the draft teams so they can pick up people who try to join mid season.
