What is needed?
A 2 tier scoring system….
1st board should reward top 4 over all with bonus points.
2nd should count that in and decide team victory/bonus.
Pre-release calculations on how much points it is possible to gain with fully active players or various inactive ones, to catch cheats with out tireless administration.
Give 0 pts to anyone who doesn’t score 100p. Negative points to those who don’t score any. Even I passed out in start of a match, but I’d accept this to deal with all those helping their buds at the other end of team speak get an upper hand because they didn’t end up on the right side.
Best thing, make sure the friend system puts friends on the same side unless there is an over lap.
Another thought is Splat Fest. Run 16 sets of two, and after the 16th, do another 8 of Splatfest with the winners of the 16, then 8 of those go on then 4, then 2 then 1 final.
Perhaps an elimination team scenario too.
