Franchising
While I did find the system cool, I feel with the player base thinned out a bit, this might not be a good idea. I feel we would end up with a few super teams. Even if you somehow changed the draft that a franchise costs say $18... I still feel it could overpower the teams.
Season Schedule Voting
I like this idea. As Ralphis suggested, we would need to figure out the timing. I would suggest that 10 days prior to draft the captains are finalized and vote for the map (one of three that Ralphis suggests). 6-7 days prior to the draft the schedule is created and announced.
This gives Ralphis the ability to place the maps in a specific order that he liked to balance out the season, and enough time for the captains to draft their team based on the maps/schedule.
36 Maps in Wad
I'm pretty impartial... 4 more maps might help... might not change anything... but overall, the more slots the better as long as it's not obscene like 100 maps. You might even be able to expand to 50 at some point. The homefield maps are known in advance of playoffs, so expanding captain choices isn't a bad idea.
5 Player Teams
Interesting idea... but I feel this might have a negative effect. 4th's rarely play, 5th's never play, etc. It potentially will make it even harder to schedule games, as all teams will want as many people on their team there as possible.
I agree with Ralphis that if we had that many people, maybe we should think of expanding even more. I feel we will eventually be back down to 6 teams, and have the problem of too few players again, meaning 5-man teams will not be sustainable.
