I know it's pretty chaotic thread, but I would like to add here some idea that would IMHO mix clan/team.
You register 2 crews (8 nicknames!) as team under some specific tag.
Every week you can have max 3-5 points from skrimmages. Points go to TEAM.
Every skrimmage you can substitute max 1 player per crew (perhaps excluding pilots?).
Every skrimmage you fly with
team-specific TAG.
Once a player signs-up for a season of skrimmages with a specific team they can not help any other team.
If clan is small, it can have 1 team (clan name as tag).
If clan is large, it can have 2-3 teams (i.e. Duck* clan could have teams DckA, DckB), but it can NOT mix or borrow players between teams.I don't believe anyone will have any right to be angry if some big clan will be able to create 2 different good teams, getting their points separately.
If, for example, DckA team wins the event, then we will know that the entire clan deserves respect.
What I think is perfect about this system is that clan with only 1 team has same chance of winning as many skrimmages as any team from clan with multiple teams, because there are no points for clan, only respect for clan's team(s). This also makes it possible to create inter-clan teams. people from AK, OVW, Ducks, Gent or whatever could create team [XYZ].
*Sorry for using Ducks as an example of big clan. Hope you don't mind. No Ducks were harmed while writing this post
