What would you do to make WAR better?

[Bulbasaur]

First off, let me explain WAR. The concept isn't too complicated; forum members create teams/join their teams, and these teams compete in different categories. Here is a list of categories from the first PXR WAR.

WAR has been a tradition of PXR/PE2K for a while now. I remember joining my first WAR in around 2009. It was a great experience, and I really enjoyed it!

However, it seems WAR has not been as big a hit on PXR. I heard many a person express concerns about WAR II. This were valid concerns; for example, the teams being unfairly sized.

So my question to you all is: What were your biggest problems with WAR? And what would you do to change them? I really feel like with some brainstorming, we can solve the problems that people have had with WAR in the past!

Now, I'm just going to throw out possible ideas. I am not saying this ideas will be good, but they're ideas.

- A team size limit. Self explanatory, but basically says a team can not go over a certain number of members.
- Pre-determined teams. Basically, a few admins/moderators own a few teams. The reason I think this will work is because I always thought there was a bit a favoritism; for example, members not as well known throughout the whole forum would not be able to get a sufficient amount of members on their team.
- Shorter time period. Four weeks seems to be a common idea.
- Drafting members.
- Rewarding for a wider range of people.
- More awards per category.
- A set number of teams.

I'll edit this as people post ideas!
