Regarding the Regarding the structure of the next Competitive Season
Byron Cavendish:
I think he wants to compete, just by team not clan, like me. That was unnecessarily aggressive velvet.

yeah, in retrospect it seems I may have misunderstood sorry.
Besides my lack of reading skills, no aggression was intended, so again my apologies if that is how I came across.
Sir Yosh:
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 :D

I'm speaking for myself here and no one else but I think this sums up the issue with teams being entered individually. I was in the competitive scene for almost 9 months and I typically had to sub on average 2-3 players per match no matter what the event. Scrimmages, which typically were a bit more casual usally involved grabbing any duck I could find to play, which was honestly one of the best things about scrimmages since any duck who wanted to play competitively could wet their chops on scrims and substituting before a regular crew position opened up on a competitive team.
The ability to allow everyone who wanted to compete the ability to do so, was the best part about competitive play. Restrictive substitution rules have always rubbed me the wrong way specifically for this reason since it took so much of the fun and community aspect out of competiting.
Sir Yosh:
But if you keep substituting missing players with the best ones you have then we go back to 1 elite team per clan :(
