I think that we should just eliminate the idea of time altogether, or double the standard time to 30min or something. Having a low time limit encourages the capping once and turtling tactic.
Speaking of which, what'll be the cap limit?

10 mins is there so recorders can upload to youtube without having to break it into a bunch of clips also makes logistics easier, i don't think anyone here really wants to do an hour marathon against only one team |

It's a 4v4, so the game would probably go pretty fast anyways. Also, what is the cap limit? |

Capping once and camping isn't even the optimal strategy. By not defending midfield or pressuring the enemy with an offense you're giving them free space to enter your base. In essence you're giving them a free pass for a 4 man offense. 1 runner/firebug uber will clear your entire defense. Smart defense includes pressuring the opponent so their offense is either stalled or forced to compensate by sending one or two guys back. Honestly, I would be glad if the other team camped. Especially with class limits.

Fair enough. Now what's the cap limit? |

 Also someone is going to have to combine my personal mod (Thanks L) with spectating one, if it all possible. |

The cap limit is 3, it says it in the OP.
If we get 2 more teams I'll do regular bracket, double elimination (blah blah, agh ball, blah). In which case we'll need a definite tiebreak for each game.
If we stay at 6, we'll do a round robin (everyone plays everyone) or 2 groups of 3 for round robin (so you play everyone in your 3 team group, and the best two go on to play in the finals). In this case, we'd have everyone play 3 maps, and ties would just be +0 (+1 for win, -1 for loss).
If we get 7, idk.

I'm in this to play the other teams. Can't we all just have fun playing instead of complaining of steamrolls?

I'm in this for 3 reasons.
1. To get better.
2. To have fun.
3. To win.
Which is the basic goals for all games isn't it?
Anywho, we only need 3 more people and we could just mash up the LFG list, making 2 more teams.
