S30 plan / mock up:
14 man rosters from people of the captains choosing, so called "real" squad. Like Rebels, Assassins.
14+X man rosters with a max limit of ... 3? people from one existing squad Draft squads. These rosters will be full of double squadders, plus whoever from chaos or other zones signs up and fails to get a spot on a real squad while showing interest in 4v4.
Fixed schedule in one squad pool, so Draft squads play other draft squads and regular squads alike. 3pm slots will mostly have draft squads, so the games should act as practice for the players in a 3pm draft squad whose real squad plays at 4. Or this will totally fail when people opt to prac with their real squads.
So we could have elf on Rebels and elf2 on Team Penis, a draft squad.
The reason for doing this in one league is simple. Sunday time slots are limited, and 4v4 players generally verbally protest against playing on saturdays. Chaos players prefer Saturdays, but I doubt they'd sign up to a draft pool for a side league no matter the date.
-------
I'll mock it up some more at a later date, but various aspects on what even makes sense to try or do for this desparation attempt at at least giving the active people something to do depend on squads returning. We'll want to end up around 12-14 squads total if possible to start with.
By automated league do you mean something bot heavy that involves a challenge / accept system that our oh-so-active captains have to use? <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
