I think the Squad cup worked out pretty well (especially for us ). It took 100 days and 9 hours from its intial start to finish. I think the participation was excellent and I think the next time might even be better. If Andrew agrees, I'd like to see another tournament initiated in about a month. I'd like to see if we could do the same game and perhaps allow two entries per squadron. Ideally we could have a 16 team format at the very least. These are just ideas and I'm curious if any others have thoughts on the matter.

I'd be happy to start another cup as soon as the remaining playoffs start for the first cup (should be within the next 2 weeks).

I've thought about having two teams from the same squadron in the cup....but I think if we do that we'd be losing some of the team spirit and there could be some rivalry amongst some squadrons themselves. I think 16 teams would be much better than 8. We have 15 "official" squadrons at the moment, with 3 or 4 of them appearing inactive. Maybe for the next cup we could open it up to "ad hoc" teams or people who'd like to try out squadron playing before committing themselves. If we weren't able to reach 16 teams we could either then have a "Bye" system or qualifying round or, perhaps then open it up to more than one team from a squadron.

We could as an alternative also use a mini-league system, where you'd have two pools of say 5 squadrons each, with the top team from each pool then playing in a final.

Another option for increasing the opportunity for players to take part would be to choose a 4 v 4 scenario (or keep a 3 v 3 scenario) but have a two leg format, one game playing as the Allies and one as the Germans, with the aggregate score counting. It might increase the time-lag of games finishing but would allow more players to participate.

I'm thinking aloud a little, but those are some more options and everyone's thoughts would be welcome.
