OK, here is what I&#039;d like to see the IDL try, I hope some people post there own versions as well.<br /><br />-No invite list, open sign ups to anyone and everyone all season long<br />-Teams with worst record given priority on selecting players from the reserves<br />-Remove player bans in the future unless someone cheats or does other major disruptive behavior<br />-Remove franchising<br />-Expand to 10-12 teams if possible<br />-No conferences<br />-Two divisions<br />-Six week regular season with no BYE week<br />-Schedule is broken up into two week chunks with two specific matches due by the end of each two weeks<br />-Teams can play matches earlier than the schedule if they want<br />-Six teams make playoffs, three from each division<br />-Playoffs are setup as Div1 #1 vs BYE, Div2 #1 vs BYE, Div1 #2 vs Div2 #3, Div2 #2 vs Div1 #3<br />-Player voted map list before the season starts.&nbsp; People would post suggestions on the forum and we&#039;d all get together and play test maps.&nbsp; After that goes on a for a while we hold a big vote and the top 32 make it in the IDL wad.&nbsp; Top five vote getting maps are used in playoffs.&nbsp; If people don&#039;t want to participate then their loss<br />-Teams can choose any map in the IDL wad for their matches<br />-Matches are still three rounds.&nbsp; Each round is a different map, tie breaker would be random pick but can not be the same maps as teams already played<br />-Teams must pick a different map each week, so once you use a map it&#039;s gone for your team.&nbsp; Playoff maps can be used in the regular season<br />-Teams pick playoff maps as such:&nbsp; each team tosses a map out of the top five, then each teams picks a map they want for their round.&nbsp; Remaining map is tie breaker.&nbsp; Masterbowl could be best of five<br />-No 1v1, 2v1, 2v2, 3v2, 4v3, etc.&nbsp; All matches played 3v3 or 4v4, 4v4 only if both teams agree.&nbsp; If you can&#039;t get three to a scheduled match your team forfeits<br />-Captains selected by player vote, if you sign up you agree to captain should the players vote you into that role<br />-Multiple servers selection teams/players submit their average pings at the start of the season and these are used in general for selection.&nbsp; Only in cases where there is a drop in connection quality to a certain server would they be ignored.&nbsp; Teams should not be arguing or jumping back and forth between servers.&nbsp; When the schedule is set the server should be select as well.<br /><br />Intended result of these changes is:<br /><br />-Open league with more teams and players<br />-Mass variety in maps with teams able to choose their picks.&nbsp; You&#039;ll never know what is coming map wise<br />-Players in control of various functions and taking a more active role in the league which should lead to the most popular players being captains and the most popular maps being used most<br />-Shorter season and new format means much more unknown about teams especially when they meet in playoffs<br />-Random element to map tie breaker(and let&#039;s be honest the best team is still going to win most often)<br />-More flexibility in scheduling and variety all around<br /><br />Somethings I didn&#039;t touch on were:<br /><br />-How to schedule.&nbsp; I&#039;d like it to be an automated web form if teams or the league are having difficulty with it but who knows if that is possible.&nbsp; With a two week window and the possibility of playing matches early there should be a lot more flexibility<br />-I think teams should not have more then one EU player per team myself but I don&#039;t want to make it an official rule<br />-LordBritish should be captain of the 69ers<br />-No natural disaster such as ice storms allowed<br />-No car wrecks either!<br /><br />I probably missed some other stuff as well...
